Damascus, (IINA) - Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has recently ruled out collaborating with France but said that his country is ready to share intelligence with it only if Paris changed its policy towards him, Khaleej Times reported.
"We are ready to exchange intelligence with France if Paris changed its policy toward Syria", Xinhua quoted Al-Assad as saying during an interview with a French magazine. "If the French government is not serious in its fight against terrorism, we will not waste our time collaborating with a country, government or an institution that supports terrorism".
In his first comments on the attacks during the interview, Al-Assad said that France is suffering the same terror as Syria has been.
He also added: "The wrong policies of the West, including France, in the Arab region have contributed to the spread of terrorism".
It is noteworthy that since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, 250,000 Syrian citizens have died, and more than half of the country's citizens were displaced, in what the Independent described as a "brutal campaign against his own citizens in a vicious civil conflict", referring to Al-Assad.
