France says tackle Syria to solve migrant crisis, promises strikes

September 10, 2015 02:39

France will soon launch air stikes in Syria, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday, saying the refugee crisis "cannot be solved just by receiving them."

"At the moment there are millions of Syrians who are displaced. There are refugee camps -- in Lebanon, in Jordan, in Turkey -- receiving 4 to 5 million Syrians. And we're not going to receive 4 to 5 million Syrians, so the problem has to be dealt with at source," he said through an interpreter.

"These are very difficult subjects. And of course, in Syria, so long as we haven't found a political solution; so long as we haven't destroyed this terrorist group, Islamic State; so long as we haven't got rid of Bashar Assad; we will not find a solution."
