US, its Allies Have no Evidence on Syria ‘s Use of Chemical Weapon: Miqdad
DAMASCUS,(ST)_ Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Dr. Faisal Miqdad stressed that the US and its allies do not have any evidence that proves their accusation of the Syrian government use of chemical weapons and they are encouraging terrorists to use them , defend them and adopt their attitudes.
In a statement to reporters yesterday, Miqdad added that this Western policy means that these chemical weapons will soon be used by the same terrorist gangs against the peoples of Europe.
He explained that Syria has provided the UN investigators sufficient information with evidence on the potential use of chemical weapons and sarin by terrorist gangs in all locations.
On the other hand , Miqdad said in an interview with the BBC : ” We do not trust Western countries that support terrorists in Syria , especially al- Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front in agreement with its agents in the region such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey”, adding ” it is our right to defend ourselves , our dignity and land by using all available means and our people are ready for it .”
Miqdad pointed out that any military attack on Syria would have regional and international repercussions and direct effects on the role of the Security Council and the UN , noting that there will be reactions that one can not control because Syria has powerful allies .
He reiterated that Syria did not use any chemical weapon and that it has repeatedly emphasized that if it owns the weapon it will not use it against its own people .
” We in Syria, have always said we are with any political solution and we will go to Geneva with a political plan and a clear program without any conditions from any party but the problem lies in the other party and its supporters who do not want a political solution.”Miqdad underscored.
