“Our main expectation is that the Syrians can take their fate into their own hands,” the French foreign minister told AFP television.
France hopes Syria will have “a political transition that will include all communities in their diversity,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barot said today during a visit to Lebanon.
“Our main expectation is that the Syrians can take their destiny into their own hands,” Barreau told AFP television, speaking from a UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in Lebanon) base in Deir Kifah. in southern Lebanon.
“For this reason, there must be a political transition in Syria, after the fall of the criminal regime of Bashar al-Assad, a political transition that will include all the communities of Syria, with their diversity, which will ensure the respect of more basic rights, fundamental freedoms,” the head of French diplomacy emphasized.
Baro, together with the Minister of Defense Sébastien Lecorny, has been in Lebanon since yesterday and met French soldiers of UNIFIL, on the occasion of the New Year, and to take stock of the implementation of the cease-fire of more than a month between the Israeli army and the Lebanese Hezbollah.
After the fall of the Assad regime, in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, Syria, scarred by almost 14 years of civil war, the new Syrian authorities reassure the minorities about the new status quo.
Hundreds of Christians in Damascus demonstrated last week after a Christmas tree was set on fire in a small town in central Syria.
The act of vandalism by foreign fighters of a jihadist group, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, was condemned by a local executive of the radical Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
Similarly, thousands of Syrians from the Alawite Muslim minority, from which ousted President Assad hails, demonstrated on December 25 in several Syrian cities after a video showing an attack on their place of worship.
Today, the de facto Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sara received in Damascus representatives of the clergy of several Churches of the Christian community of Syria, mainly Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Anglican and Syrian Orthodox, according to photos released by his services.
