Syria censures statement of EU High Representative on OPCW report about alleged incident of Saraqeb

DAMASCUS, (ST)_ Syria has censured the statement of the Higher Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy about a report released by the Organization for the Prohibition of chemical Weapons on the alleged incident of Saraqeb.

 

“Syria censures what has come in the statement of the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy about the report released by the illegitimate so-called Investigation and Identification Team on the alleged Saraqeb incident and rejects it totally,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement on Thursday.

 

The Ministry added that EU High representative’s statement is full of falsities and stances which are far from reality and logic and it keeps up a hostile, provocative method adopted by the EU for the past 10 years, according to the Syrian News Agency (SANA).

 

It went on to say that the stance of EU towards the OPCW report  aims to justify the terrorist war on Syria.

 

“Time has come for the EU and a number of its countries to adopt a method which is far from this institution of a colonial feature, and to stop intervening in the internal affairs of countries and respect the sovereignty and independence of Syria,” the Ministry said.

 

It concluded by saying that Syria stresses  that it has never used chemical weapons in Saraqeb or in any other town on the Syrian territory, and at the same time Syria rejects the use of this kind of weapon in any place and by any side and under any circumstance.
