PARIS - Syria's parliamentary elections on Wednesday are a 'sham' organized by 'an oppressive regime,' France's foreign ministry said on, adding that viable elections could only take place after a political transition and new constitution. 'France denounces this shame of an election organized by the regime,' Foreign ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said in a daily briefing on Wednesday. 'They are being held without campaigning, under the auspices of an oppressive regime and without international observation.' Nadal said only elections as part of a UN resolution that paves the way for a transition in the country would be valid.
