The politician acknowledged that the position of France regarding the ongoing conflict remains somewhat reticent, but many parliamentarians want to assess the reality on the ground and want to start discussing the matters with official Damascus.
Jacques Myard however added that the talks between the Syrian and French leaders still remain unlikely.
Jacques Myard said that Assad’s trip to Moscow was part of the political settlement of the conflict and stressed that the government of President Assad should certainly become one of the parties to the international political dialogue, which Russia has always been calling for.
The politician also stressed that the settlement of the conflict also requires that some of the countries in the region should stop arming jihadist groups operating in the region, such as the Islamic State or Al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front.
