“No one wants the continuation of the armed conflict,” German diplomat chief Johann Vandeful said on the ARD television network and called for this new opportunity to “take place” in order to have serious talks “.
While Paris is anxious about US attacks, Berlin believes that “the Americans took responsibility in the region against a particular threat,” according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
“They are the only ones who can do it, we must say clearly.”told ARD television.
“The decisive in my opinion is that a major threat has been eliminated and I can only repeat, it is a good news about the Middle and the Middle East, but also for Europe.”.
