France Warns of Risk of 'Perpetual War' if No Syria Deal

France warned Monday that the Middle East risked "perpetual war" unless a peace agreement can be reached in Syria.

Syrian President "Bashar al-Assad but also those who support him have a responsibility to work for a political solution," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told reporters at the United Nations.

"If not, we risk heading toward a sort of perpetual war in the area," he said.
