Alwaght- Syria has reaffirmed that the accusations, claims and lies about its alleged use of chemical weapons aim at defaming the country internationally and serve the Zionist entity.
Syria Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Mikdad made the remarks during a press conference in Damascus on Monday adding that the claims are also made to prolong the crisis especially after the achievements made by the Syrian Army and its allies in the war on terrorism.
Mikdad, who is the head of the national committee for implementing Syria’s obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention added that, “I affirm in the name of the Syrian Arab Republic that Syria disposed of its chemical program completely. There are no longer any chemical weapons in Syria, or any toxic chemical materials or gases that could be used in military operations”.
He added that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has acknowledged that Syria eliminated all that is related to its chemical file, reminding that Syria has welcomed and received the investigation teams in all the places they asked to visit.
Syria handed over all chemical materials
He noted that the Syrian government has officially requested that chemical materials be disposed of outside Syria so that there can be no doubts about them being destroyed or not, and ships came from Denmark, the US, Britain, Finland and Sweden to carry out this process, pointing out that the Americans are asking for the documents related to the history of the file and experts and others, which no longer exist.
Mikdadi noted that the recent developments in Syria are the best for the Syrian state since the beginning of the crisis as the Syrian Army and its allies are advancing all over the country and national reconciliations are making great achievements in and around Damascus and in Homs, “which quashed their dreams.”
He noted that prior to the crisis, Syria was advancing quickly towards achieving economic and human development, and this didn’t make some sides happy whether those inside or outside the region.
US, Israel conspiring against Syria
Mikdad also touched upon the recent discourse of the US, the West and even the conflicting sides in the Persian Gulf that has left no doubt about the real role which those parties have been playing in conspiring against Syria in terms of arming, funding, harboring and supporting the terrorist organizations in Syria under the orders of Israel and the US with the aim to make the whole region submissive to the Israeli administration.
He affirmed that the US direct aggression on al-Shairat airport in Homs countryside had no moral, political or operational justification at all, adding that it aimed at showing the US new administration as a strong side and that it can strike any place, as well, it came as a commitment by the US to the interests of the Zionist entity and to prolong the extent of the crisis in Syria, particularly after the achievements made by the Syrian Arab Army and its allies.
Mikdad affirmed that the second purpose of the US immoral, aggressive, and bloody act was to prevent Syria from achieving any victory over terrorism because the US and its agents in the region have invested in terrorism as any merchant who invests his money in building facilities to increase his income.
US created terrorism
He went on saying that the Americans are those who created terrorism through al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, and then they divided it into the ISIS and al-Nusra Front with consistent political support from various American administrations to these terrorist groups.
Regarding the possibility of any US imminent aggression on Syria, Mikdad said “We will not be surprised if the US would commit new attacks on Syria, but the US must accurately account the reactions of that Syria and its allies.”
