Tổng thống Pháp: 'Không kích Syria không giải quyết được gì nhưng bảo vệ danh dự'

"Cuộc không kích sẽ không giải quyết được gì, nhưng nó sẽ chấm dứt tình trạng mà chúng ta đã quen thuộc, khi lẽ phải trở thành phe yếu thế. Ba quốc gia đã can thiệp và tôi thật sự nghĩ đó là hành động để bảo vệ danh dự của cộng đồng quốc tế", AFP dẫn lời Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron hôm nay tuyên bố trước Nghị viện châu Âu (EP).

The US, UK and France launched 105 cruise missiles at facilities in Syria on the morning of April 14 in response to the country's alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians in the city of Douma, a suburb of the capital Damascus, killing about 70 people earlier this month. Russia, Syria and Iran condemned the US action, but a draft resolution condemning the attack presented by Russia to the UN Security Council was rejected.

In his speech to the EP, Mr. Macron affirmed that the coalition acted to protect world order, and accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of "waging war on his own people." The Elysee Palace chief declared that the airstrike was carried out within a legal and multilateral framework, aiming to destroy three chemical weapons production and storage areas, and causing no human casualties.

The French President's statement came after the French government expressed concern that evidence of the chemical attack in Douma might disappear.Washington accused Moscow and Damascus of possibly falsifying evidence on the ground.Russia denied the accusations, saying that the US and coalition airstrikes on Syria were the cause of the delay in the investigation.Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
