Premeditated act of deception

It is not the first time for the scenario of chemical weapons to be fabricated by the armed terrorist groups and their supporters at the time when UN committees were visiting Syria. The timing of the new scenario aims to distract the attention of the UN experts currently visiting Syria from the objectives of their mission, because if the experts continue their work, facts will be disclosed about the armed groups’ use of internationally-banned chemical weapons in Khan al-Asal and other areas.

The visit of the UN team comes upon the invitation of the Syrian government and by an agreement between the UN and Foreign and Expatriates Ministry. It is the Syrian government that invited the UN to investigate the use of chemical weapons in Khan al-Assal area in Aleppo, because Syria has clear-cut evidence on the use of chemical weapons by the armed terrorist groups.

These lies and totally unfounded allegations have become well-known to the Syrian government and people, constituting an attempt to prevent the international investigation committee from carrying out its task and to influence the committee’s report in a way that serves the armed terrorist groups and the countries standing behind them.

The channels of instigation and misleading, especially al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya, which are complicit in the bloodshed of Syrian people, started a feverish campaign yesterday claiming that the Syrian Arab Army was using toxic gases in al-Ghouta. Such null and void news is part of the global war being launched against Syria. It is not a coincidence that these allegations and this aggressive media attack started with the beginning of the UN experts’ mission on investigating chemical weapons use in Syria.  If the use of chemical weapons is true, it has definitely been carried out by terrorist and Takfiri groups, because they have proved in action that they refrain from no crime. 

In part, these baseless allegations aim to raise the armed terrorist groups’ morale in light of the humiliating defeats inflicted upon them by the Syrian Arab armed forces that are fulfilling national and constitutional duties of combating terrorism everywhere in Syria and protecting the Syrian people against the criminal acts of the armed terrorist groups. The cries of terrorists and their calls for aid accompany the fact that the armed forces are advancing on the ground, and also accompany the fabricated campaign waged by some channels in desperate bid to imbue false morale in the armed terrorist groups. These allegations by the terrorist groups and the satellite channels that support them are just a desperate bid to conceal their failures on the battlefield and reflect the state of hysteria and collapse that these terrorist groups are suffering.

Another sinister objective of the groundless and untrue allegations of using toxic gas by the Syrian Arab army is that the US and Saudi Arabia want to inflame the situation and obstruct the convening of Geneva conference as it is the case with the US stance which disavows its understanding with the Russian side with the aim of prolonging the crisis and hindering its peaceful solution.
