I'm not saying that in Syria there is -- there are no victims, there
is no torture, there is no high level of deaths. I'm telling you,
I'm not denying the fact that there are many mistakes that are being
committed, not just in Syria, in all countries of the world. But
there is accountability. There is national accountability and not
international. Every time an issue comes to the surface, the people

Hollande and others who have waged war and killed many people? How
about the Armenian genocide, where 5 million people were killed? If
