Mutual understanding on destroying Syrian chemical weapons at sea reached – Russia diplomat

Russian deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said he had high hopes for United States logistical assistance in destroying the Syrian chemical weapons at sea. “Of course, the issues of transportation and security are being resolved by all participants of the process and military ships should be here. As far as I understand, mutual understanding exists at a very high level between all participants of the process to implement this task. I think that an optimal solution will be found,” Bogdanov said, according to Voice of Russia, Interfax.

“In this case, high hopes are on our US partners. They have a specially equipped vessel to implement such a task,” Bogdanov said.

Bogdanov said he warned the extremist forces in  Syria against attempts to prevent the transpiration of the Syrian chemical weapons to the Latakia port.

“The main thing is that no one obstructs this. Terrorists and extremists, who are probably trying to create a problem. Nothing can be ruled out,” Bogdanov told reporters on Monday.
