PARIS (Reuters) – France’s political approach to the Syrian government will not change, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday, adding that aid in response to the earthquake would go through non-governmental organisations and the United Nations mechanism.
“Our political approach is not changing and contrary to Bashar al-Assad we are working in favour of the Syrian population,” Deputy foreign ministry spokesman Francois Delmas told reporters in a briefing.
