France may start delivering weapons to Syria’s anti-government rebels without agreement from its European Union partners, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said.
There is an “imbalance” in Syria because Russia and Iran are sending weapons to President Bashar al-Assad while rebels lack arms to battle the government, Fabius said today on France Info radio. France is working with the U.K. on the matter and wants to move forward an EU meeting to discuss the 27-member bloc’s embargo on sending arms to Syria, Fabius said.
