French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius stressed today that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will not escape punishment at the end as all tyrants shall pay for their crimes. Commenting on the decision of the Ministerial Council of the Arab League in Doha on Sunday to provide a safe departure for the Syrian president in the event of his stepping down, the French Foreign Minister said in a statement to Channel France 2 this morning, " The Arab League submitted ??this proposal, but I think that tyrants shall pay for their crimes in the long run. Al-Assad will fall inevitably, but it's just a matter of time; and whenever this happens quickly, it is better."
