President
Francois Hollande on totoday condemned a group of French lawmakers for meeting
with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whom he branded a "dictator".
"I
condemn this initiative. I condemn it because French lawmakers have taken it
upon themselves to meet with a dictator who is the cause of one of the worst
civil wars of recent years," Hollande told reporters in the Philippines.
A
cross-party group of four French lawmakers made an unofficial trip to the
Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday and held talks with senior ministers.
Three of the MPs - not including one from the ruling Socialist party - then met
with the Syrian leader.
