Axar.az reports that the policy of France in the fight against the Islamic State jihadist group proved to be a failure, The Republicans’ presidential candidate Francois Fillon said.
“The French policy towards the Islamic State is a failure. We gave Russia and Iran the freedom of action but could rather carry out this fight together with them," Fillon said during the pre-election debate, broadcast by TF1.
