Damascus says it holds "armed groups" responsible for the recent deadly clashes in the western town of Houla that killed 108 people, including at least 49 children.
The fighting between Syrian forces and armed groups in Houla comes despite a ceasefire that took effect on April 12.
The UK foreign secretary said there could be "chaos and civil war" if the peace plan is not implemented.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Mimi al-Laham, Syrian activist from Dubai, to further discuss the issue.

[29 May 2012] 'Syria must curb armed gangs with iron fist' - English
Pressure is mounting on Syria as a number of countries including European states are expelling Syrian ambassadors and diplomats.
France, Britain, Spain, Germany, and Italy say the expulsions are in response to the Friday massacre of civilians in Houla. Canada and Australia are doing the same. British foreign secretary William Hague says the US will also take similar action.
This is the latest form of pressure by Western states and their allies on the Syrian government that blame Damascus for killing civilians since unrest erupted in Syria over a year ago. Britain says the pressure will increase.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Haitham Alsibahie, from the Syrian Social Club in London, to further talk over the issue.
