France will support Syria's political transition following the fall of Bashar al-Assad, but only if the rights of minorities are respected, outgoing foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Monday, insisting that everything must be done to avoid extremism.
The fall of Bashar-al-Assad, “one of the worst dictators of our time” is “good news for freedom”, Jean-Noel Barrot told France Info radio Monday.
