Unable to shift - let it remain. Paris does not insist on the care of Assad
She noted that Paris prefers that the Syrians could stay in their country, but this will require "serious political decisions."
At the same time, she stressed that “the demand for the unconditional withdrawal of Bashar al-Assad has been removed from the agenda,” and Paris “will leave the Syrian people the right to choose their own future.”
The ambassador also expressed confidence that the French side managed to bring its position to the Russian leadership.
Earlier, a similar point of view was voiced by President Macron. Following the talks with Trump in the summer of 2017, he stated that “Assad’s resignation is no longer a prerequisite,” and the struggle against terrorists should be a “fundamental task” for France in the Syrian conflict.
