In an interview with the French TV station LCP, former French minister for Foreign Affairs Roland Dumas said:
‘’I’M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I WAS IN ENGLAND TWO YEARS BEFORE THE VIOLENCE IN SYRIA ON OTHER BUSINESS. I MET WITH TOP BRITISH OFFICIALS, WHO CONFESSED TO ME THAT THEY WERE PREPARING SOMETHING IN SYRIA.
THIS WAS IN BRITAIN NOT IN AMERICA. BRITAIN WAS ORGANIZING AN INVASION OF REBELS INTO SYRIA. THEY EVEN ASKED ME, ALTHOUGH I WAS NO LONGER MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, IF I WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.
NATURALLY, I REFUSED, I SAID I’M FRENCH, THAT DOESN’T INTEREST ME.’’
