France affirms will ask EU to re-examine Syrian hands embargo

France will raise the issue of excluding defensive weapons from your current arms embargo on Syria to aid rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad's routine, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius explained on Thursday.

"For the second, there is an embargo, so there are no arms being delivered from your European side. The issue... will undoubtedly be raised for defensive hands, " Fabius told RTL r / c.

"The issue will be raised considering that the (opposition) coalition has asked us to do so, " he said, adding that "this is something we can only do in coordination using the Europeans. "

"France's position for that moment is to say that people must not militarise the clash, but it is evidently unacceptable there are liberated zones and that they will be bombarded by Bashar's planes, " Fabius told RTL r / c.

"The issue of defensive arms will probably be raised, " he added.

France on Tuesday became the primary Western country to recognise Syria's recently formed opposition National Coalition as the sole representative of the Syrian persons.

French President Francois Hollande will on Saturday meet the coalition's leaders in Paris, Fabius explained, including chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib as well as Georges Sabra, the president with the Syrian National Council.
