France’s attempts to demand the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad as a condition for humanitarian aid to the country are paradoxical, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday.
She said, “an impression is created that this is already some sort of blackmail, that Paris has completely lost the concept of the values of humanism.”
“The position in which the departure of a legitimate president of a UN member state is declared a condition for rendering assistance to the population of that country is paradoxical,” Zakharova said at a briefing.
