Russian diplomat calls on media to recognize atrocities of ‘moderate opposition’ in Syria

MOSCOW- Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has called on the Western mass media to recognize crimes of the so-called “moderate opposition” in Syria.

Washington’s and its allies’ turning a blind eye on the crimes of the so-called ‘moderate opposition’ in Syria including the use of poisonous substances against living quarters, devaluates Western diplomat’s calls for stopping bloodshed in that country, Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook account on Thursday, according to Itar Tass.

 Chief of Russia’s center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria Sergei Chvarkov said earlier that in the eastern districts of the city of Aleppo, poisonous substances were used at a living quarte controlled by the Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki group which is affiliated with the so-called “moderate opposition” backed by the United States.

As a result of this terrorist attack, seven people died and more than 20 were evacuated to Aleppo’s hospitals with suffocation and inhalation burns.

Responsibility for this crime against civilian population rests with the “moderate” group Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki, which has been accused of numerous murders of children and women in Aleppo more than once, Zakharova stressed.

“These beasts who used poisonous substances against civilians are supported by the United State,” she wrote.

The Russian reconciliation center has informed the U.S. side about the incident, she noted.
