Syrian envoy to France denies resigning

Syria's ambassador to France, Lamia Shakkour, denied Tuesday that she has resigned her post, declaring late in the day that she would remain in her job until President Bashar al-Assad no longer wants her to remain in it.
"At no moment have I thought about doing anything other than serving my country," she told CNN affiliate BFM in an interview carried out in front of a picture of Assad at the Syrian Embassy in Paris.
Shakkour's status had been in doubt since the afternoon, when the television network France 24 broadcast a telephone interview from a woman it identified as Shakkour. During the interview, the woman said she was resigning because of violence in Syria.
"I cannot support the cycle of extreme violence ... ignore the young men, women and children who have died," she said.
But that interview was quickly followed by another telephone interview, broadcast on Syrian state TV, in which a woman also identifying herself as Shakkour denied having resigned, saying, "I am an integral part of this nation."
The woman in the Syrian interview said she plans to sue the French news channel and give the proceeds to the children of "martyrs."
COmentary:i think that this is inhuman because they are killing people innocent people that die by get freedom to there peoPle and dine and there people said that they die like martyrs.
