DAMASCUS, (ST)- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Tuesday urged the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to send its experts to Syria as to investigate the terrorist organizations’ using of toxic gases, including Chlorine, in their attacks on several areas in Aleppo.

In two identical letters to the UN Chief and President of the Security Council, the ministry said the government of the Syrian Arab Republic has become sure that neither the United Nations nor OPCW pay any attention to the terrorists’ crimes of using chemical weapons against the Syrian people, but they are greatly outraged over baseless claims accusing the Syrian government of such crimes.

 According to the ministry, the terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra and its affiliated armed groups, which some countries call “moderate opposition”, have committed many crimes including using poisonous gases, mainly chlorine, in their attacks on several areas in Aleppo, including in al-Nairab, al-Hamadaneya, al-Assad suburb and Minian areas where dozens of civilians and military personnel suffered asphyxiation.

The ministry said that the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday that Russian military experts had found evidence that militants in the Syrian city of Aleppo had used chemical weapons, likely chlorine and white phosphorus.  

Syria strongly condemns using chemical weapons by whatever party and at any place or time and affirms that the toxic gases being used by the terrorists in Syria and Iraq and which can also be used by Deash and Jabhat al-Nusra in other parts of the world, have been sent to the terrorists by some well-known regimes mainly Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, the ministry said, pointing out that Syria has sent many document s to the UN and OPCW to inform them about this issue.    

The ministry concluded its letters by calling on OPCW to send its experts to Syria as to investigate incidents of chemical weapon use by terrorists organizations in implementation of its charter and away from politicization or falsification.
