Syria Holds Terrorism Supporters Responsible for Leaking Information on Chemical Weapons Sites

 DAMASCUS, (ST) – Syria has condemned the leaks made by some countries, known of their support to armed terrorist groups in Syria, on Syrian chemical weapons sites, an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said.

The source added that Syria holds these countries responsible for  the dangers such leaks may cause, and urged concerned international organizations to act soon to put an end to these countries’ persistence in irresponsible dealing with this serious issue.

 “Full cooperation between the Syrian Arab Republic on the one hand and the United Nations General Secretariat and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the other, and the success of this cooperation in having Syria’s obligations towards the Chemical Weapons Convention implemented, have angered the parties which are conspiring on Syria and supporting terrorist groups in the country, according to the source.

The source said that “within this framework, terrorist groups have been attacking sites of chemical materials which are to be transported abroad in accordance with an agreement between the Syrian government and concerned international parties.”

“What is more important is how these groups have known about the efforts exerted to transfer chemical materials outside Syria, said the source, referring to the irresponsible role played by some countries which support terrorists, provide them with information about the content of the chemical weapons sites and about the transfer details and encourage them to attack the sites.

The source said that Syria urges all international organizations and the UN secretary general to pressure these countries to stop their disastrous support to the terrorists.

Syria also reiterates its commitment to the obligations resulted from its joining of Chemical Weapons Convention.
