Frensh Foreign Minsiter Laurent Fabius said that Syrian army has gained over the past few weeks considerable ground, warning that this advance should be stopped before reaching the province of Aleppo.

"We need to re-balance things because over the past few weeks the troops of Bashar al-Assad (Syrian leader) and especially Hezbollah and the Iranians, along with Russian arms, have gained considerable ground," Fabius said on France 2 television.

"We must stop this progression before Aleppo. It is the next target of Hezbollah and of the Iranians,” he added.

However, Fabius didn’t explain how the Syrian Army should be stopped.
On Tuesday, France's foreign ministry warned that the nearly 27-month Syrian conflict was at a "turning point."

"What should we do under these conditions to reinforce the opposition armed forces? We have had these discussions with our partners, with the Americans, the Saudis, the Turks, many others," said ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot.
"We cannot leave the opposition in the current state."

The Syrian Army recaptured the city of al-Qusayr along with its countryside last week. The area, which is near to the border with Lebanon, is considered strategic since it was a bastion for foreign-backed militants fighting the Syrian government.
