Syrian President Bashar al-Assad received today a French delegation, including a number of parliamentarians, intellectuals, and media men, Syrian News Agency SANA says.

President al-Assad affirmed that the terrorist attacks which targeted Paris couldn’t be separated from those that took place in Beirut, and what has been happening in Syria since 5 years and in other regions, adding "terrorism is one field in the world and terrorist organizations don’t recognize borders."

"Wrong polices adopted by western states, particularly France, towards events in the region, and its ignorance of the support of a number of its allies to terrorists are reasons behind the expansion of terrorism," President al-Assad said, pointing out to the importance of adopting new polices.

"We have warned of what will happen in Europe three years ago… but, unfortunately the European officials didn’t care about what we have said," – the Syrian President added.
