They need to show the Cold War is over, that they are able to work together,’ he said. Gorbachev took a jab at France, a vocal supporter of intervention in Syria. ‘I was surprised that France, instead of supporting an international conference, is taking its current position on Syria,’ he said. ‘I think that France will have to change its position.'”
