France has suggested that they would participate in enforcing a no-fly zone in Syria, as the French Foreign Minister called for the Syrian regime to be "smashed fast".
France’s Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, speaking on French television, called on the international community to consider imposing a no-fly zone in Syria, a move that he claimed france would participate in backing.
His remarks came as Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said last week,
"The Syrian regime should be smashed fast""After hearing the refugees and their account of the massacres of the regime, Mr Bashar al-Assad doesn't deserve to be on this earth."
"It is an operation of destruction of an entire people that he is trying to accomplish"
"The sooner this regime leaves, the better... Every single day gives Bashar Assad regime time to use for bombing his own people."
Earlier French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also confirmed that france was supplying the Syrian opposition with “non-lethal” aid, stating,
“On the military level, what we have done is we have responded to a request by the Syrian National Council and the Syrian resistance to provide a certain number of non-lethal elements... means of communication and protection”.
