Russia has slammed the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for its biased probe into an April incident in Syria where civilians died of the use of chemical weapons.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tRussia\u2019s representative to the OPCW said Tuesday that the probe by the global chemical weapons watchdog into the incident in Khan Sheikhun, a village northwest of Syria, was based on \u201cunprofessional and politically-biased working methods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGeorgy Kalamanov said in his speech to the annual gathering of OPCW members in The Hague that the probe was heavily influenced by Western governments that have sought over the past years to hit Syria\u00a0with \u201cunfounded accusations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe official, who also serves as Russia’s deputy minister of trade and industry, said \u201csome of the Western countries wanted their own version of the bombing in Khan Sheikhun with chemical weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said the accusations against Syria came despite the fact that the Arab country \u201chas been combating terrorism and extremism that has been sponsored from outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said such probes were dominated by \u201cdouble standard,\u201d which was only “undermining the credibility of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the OPCW.”<\/p>\n

\n\tSyria has denied the findings of a joint investigation by the OPCW and the United Nations, known as JIM, into the incident in Khan Sheikhun, saying its air force had not dropped bombs in the village, as claimed by JIM.<\/p>\n

\n\tRussia has also called for JIM to be dismantled and a new mechanism to be launched to probe the incident. Russian authorities have maintained since the incident took place that it was the militants who triggered the tragedy and killed over 80 people. Moscow said at the time that the militants had deposited chemicals in the area that may have exploded in a Syrian or Russian air raid.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoscow has been assisting Syria in its war on terror since late 2015 when Damascus asked Moscow to intervene in the conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
