UN experts should return to Syria to continue chemical attack probe – Lavrov

The elaboration of a plan for placing Syrian chemical weapons under international control does not make the verification of every report on the use of chemical weapons and the return of UN experts to Syria unnecessary, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

“This work does not make the verification of all reports on the use of chemical weapons in Syria unnecessary,” he said after negotiations with Libyan counterpart Muhammad Abdelaziz,according to Voice of Russia.

“UN experts should return to Syria and fully implement their mandate before presenting a report to the UN Security Council, which would consider the whole body of evidence, including testimonies of numerous experts, public organizations, religious leaders and others,” Lavrov said.
