France has threatened to turn its sky into a no-fly zone for the Syrian administration's delegation that is expected to sit down at the negotiating table in the Swiss town of Montreux, Voice of Russia reports. AFP has cited a source in the Syrian foreign ministry as saying Monday the French have vowed not to let the board with the official Syrian delegation pass over its territory tomorrow, a move which the Assad administration has condemned as an attempt to torpedo the Geneva-2 conference on Syrian peace at all costs.
The long-overdue international talks on Syria are to open in Switzerland on January 22.
