Syria: OPCW Fact-Finding Mission’s Report On Alleged Use of Toxic Chemicals in Douma Full of Distorted Facts

DAMASCUS, (ST)- Syria categorically rejects the conclusions reached by the Fact-Finding Mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the alleged incident of using toxic Chemicals in Syria’s Douma on April 7th, 2018 and stresses that the report is not different from the mission’s previous reports which were full of flagrantly distorted facts, an official spokesman to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has stressed.

The spokesman made it clear that those who prepared the report “ignored the testimonies of the witnesses who experienced this incident and who described the claims about using chemical weapons in Douma as false flag operation carried out by the terrorist organizations.”

“The unprofessionalism of the authors of the report has made it easy for experts from the Syrian Arab Republic to discover the disinformation made in the report  by those who claim that they are investigators,” the spokesman pointed out.

 It is worth mentioning, the spokesman said, that as a result of their failed policies in Syria which aimed at destroying the country and undermining its security and stability, the US, France and Britain ordered their terrorist tools in Syria, mainly the so-called “White Helmets”, the main tool of Jabhat al-Nusra, to fabricate a chemical incident to accuse the Syrian government of using chemical weapons and then hindered conducting investigation into the incident in Douma through launching a direct military aggression on Syria on April 14th, 2018.

The aggression caused the destruction of scientific centers which contain laboratories for peaceful purposes.

The spokesman went on saying that Syria calls on OPCW member states to uncover such fake reports and not to adopt their conclusions and urges the OPCW technical secretariat to  appoint honest, professional and neutral  members of to work in the fact-finding mission.
