Sabbagh: Syria rejects questioning campaigns by well-known countries regarding its cooperation with OPCW

New York, SANA- Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Bassam Sabbagh, affirmed that some member states continue to direct misleading accusations against Syria, ignoring its voluntary accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention and the elimination of its entire stockpile and production facilities. Sabbagh said at a session for the Security Council that Syria rejects the questioning campaigns launched by well-known countries about its cooperation with organization of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons ( OPCW ) and their false accusations related to the “initial declaration” and disapproves “its jumping to incorrect conclusions.” He clarified that terrorist groups continue their attacks on civilians and the Syrian Arab Army forces in the countryside of Homs, Hama, Lattakia and Idleb with rocket and artillery shells and drones. “The insistence of Director of OPCW on ignoring many facts and essential scientific observations of prominent personalities is not the right way to affirm the professionalism of the work of the organization teams,” Sabbagh added.
