France has called for the creation of humanitarian corridors in Syria. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, who met exiled Syrian opposition leader Burhan Ghaliun in Paris, said he would take to Brussels the idea of escape routes for civilians fleeing Assad''s forces. "If there could be a humanitarian dimension to the zones, which could be secured to protect the population, that''s a question that must be studied," Juppe said. "If it is possible to have a humanitarian dimension for a secured zone to protect civilians, that then is a question which has to be studied by the European Union on the one side and the Arab League on the other side," Juppe said.
