France wants international war crimes investigation in Syria
France wants international war crimes investigation in Syria:- French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said on Monday that President Francois Hollande will take into account the situation in Syria’s Aleppo in deciding whether to see Russian President Vladimir Putin when he visits Paris on Oct. 19
Ayrault also told France Inter radio that he will ask the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate possible war crimes in Syria.
“We do not agree with what Russia is doing, bombarding Aleppo. France is committed as never before to saving the population of Aleppo,” Ayrault said.
“If the President decides (to see Putin), this will not be to trade pleasantries,” he added
(Corrects to change court to ICC in second paragraph)
