He affirmed that the Syrian Government will provide full support to the investigation team of the UN Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to carry out its mission. Previously, the official representative of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons also said that the experts are starting to leave for Syria and the team of experts will start their work this Saturday, that is, April 14, 2018.

Remember that in early April, the West firmly blamed the Syrian government of President Asad for using chemical weapons to kill civilians in the city of Douma, Eastern Ghouta, when the Syrian Army was about to completely liberate this area from terrorists and anti-government rebels. Until now, the Syrian government has denied that the government of President Asad was responsible for this problem.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also asserted that blaming the Syrian Army for the incident was to cover up terrorism and justify a plot to attack Syria from outside. Will the expert group of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (UN) have the objectivity, honesty, and courage to conduct investigations and draw conclusions impartially and independently without any pressure in the coming days? Let's wait and see.
