MOSCOW- Russia has regreted the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ (OPCW) decision that lacks convincing facts, while aiming to shift the blame for the use of chemical weapons in Syria on the Syrian government, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Saturday, Sputnik reported.
“At the November 11 session of the executive council of OPCW in The Hague, as a result of a many-moved combination actively using ‘regional solidarity,’ the member states were able to impose an anti-Syrian decision based on, essentially, unconvincing conclusions… of the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) expert panel on the use of chemical weapons in the country,” the Russian ministry said in a statement.
Moscow is expecting “the further escalation of anti-Syrian sentiments in the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the UN Security Council,” the Foreign Ministry stressed. It urged all member states involved to resist “this unscrupulousness and negligence in international affairs.
