Fabius: Responsibility for chaos in Syria lies with Bashar Assad

Today, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius stated that he hopes to clarify Russia's intentions in Syria soon.

He also stressed that Syrian President Bashar Assad cannot play any role in the future political system of the country.

According to the French Foreign Minister, responsibility for the current chaos in Syria lies with its President, Bashar Assad. "If we were to tell the Syrian people that their future is connected with Assad, it would mean a failure for us," RIA Novosti quoted Fabius as saying.
