Objectivity is required

The US, Britain and France have blocked the naming of the real perpetrators of chemical weapons attacks in Syria. The terrorists fighting in Syria are being supplied with chemical weapons. Russian diplomatic sources said that the attack had been carried out by the foreign-backed terrorists by order of Saudi Arabia to draw in military intervention in Syria. There are several proofs which show that the chemical attack on al-Ghouta on August 21 was a large-scale provocation to encourage foreign military intervention in Syria. The US and Israel were looking for new pretexts to launch aggression on Syria. Reports indicate that Western powers and their regional allies — especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey — are supporting the terrorists operating inside the country with chemical weapons.

Syria has clear-cut evidence on the use of chemical weapons by the armed terrorist groups through eyewitnesses and soil and air samples. The Syrian government has handed evidence to Russia proving that the armed terrorist groups are responsible for using the chemical weapons in al-Ghouta, Damascus Countryside, on 21 of August.

Last May, terrorists equipped with Sarin gas were arrested in Turkey.  The armed terrorist groups along with Turkish individuals tried to buy 10 tons of materials that are used to manufacture chemical weapons. Moreover, the investigations made by the Russian experts on the use of chemical weapons in Khan al-Assal proved that the armed terrorist groups were responsible for the incident. But the UN report on the use of chemical weapons in al-Ghouta was politicized, biased and selective. It was distorted and one-sided and the basis of information upon which it is built is not sufficient. The chemical projectile which was used in Khan al-Assal in Aleppo countryside did not belong to the Syrian Arab Army. The Russian findings refute the massive information aimed at placing the responsibility for the alleged chemical weapons use in Syria on the Syrian Arab army.  The shell used in the incident does not belong to the standard ammunition of the Syrian army and was made according to type and parameters of the rocket-propelled unguided missiles manufactured in the north of Syria by the so-called Basha’er al-Nasr brigade.

Russia handed a 100-page report to the UN Secretary-General on July 9th on the incident which took place in Khan al-Assal in Aleppo countryside. But the UN response was not sufficient because of the US, France and Britain.

It is important that private or specific political interests for the US, Britain and France do not emerge again, particularly at the UN and its affiliated bodies so that facts appear clearly.
