PARIS (AP) ? France's foreign minister says his country is trying to rework a U.N. Security Council resolution that aims to end violence in Syria ? with a focus on overcoming Russian resistance.
Alain Juppe also reiterated France's hope that the council will reconsider creation of "humanitarian corridors" that would allow aid groups to reach Syrian areas that are facing "absolutely scandalous massacres."
Speaking Wednesday on France-Info radio, Juppe said a planned U.N. General Assembly vote Thursday on Syria's bloodshed could have symbolic importance.
Russia and China both vetoed a Security Council resolution earlier this month brought by the Arab League and aimed at halting Syria's violence ? moves that angered many Western powers and Arab states.
