"No, because it's the contrary. We - not just
the French, but all nations - have to combat terrorism. It's not
encouraging terrorism to combat terrorism," Fabius said.
Asked how confident he was
about getting troops from Gulf countries for deployment, Fabius said:
"Everybody has to commit to oneself in fighting against terrorism. We
are pretty confident that the (United Arab) Emirates will go into that
direction as well."
He said France and the Gulf states were discussing the latter's possible contribution.
"We
shall have a discussion with the authorities in the Emirates. There are
different ways of helping, it can be through materials, can be through
financing," Fabius said.
