MOSCOW- The Russian Foreign Ministry welcomed the constructive talks held in Damascus between the Syrian government and the UN on the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
In a statement on Monday, the ministry said these constructive agreements opened up a way to a closer and more objective investigation into the chemical weapon use.
According to the Voice of Russia, the ministry stressed the rapprochement, although delayed, would give a better insight into what had happened in Khan al-Assal, an Aleppo neighborhood, on March 19, 2013.
Moscow hopes that the voice of its experts on chemical weapons will be heard during the UN probe into the use of chemical agents near the Syrian town of Aleppo in March.
“We expect the group of UN investigators to take into account the conclusions on the incident at the Khan al-Assal village their Russian colleagues submitted in a report to the UN Secretary General on July 9,” the ministry’s statement said.
