He noted the Russian important role in the region and concerning the crisis in Syria and its legitimate interests by providing weapons to the Syrian Arab army in accordance with agreements signed between the two sides , while we see France sending arms to terrorists .

He described the French position concerning the crisis in Syria as rigid  from the very beginning,  as it confirmed that there will be no international conference on Syria without preconditions France wanted to impose to support the opposition, but the conference will be held and the French desire will not be met, and this indicates that France has lost its status.
