MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th October, 2018) New chemical provocations that are being prepared by militants in Syria must be prevented as they are aimed at undermining political dialogue and efforts to bring peace to the war-torn country, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.�"We are receiving more and more alarming information from various sources that certain groups of terrorists and extremists in Syria are not leaving attempts to carry out large-scale provocations using chemical weapons and toxic substances," the ministry said in a statement.
"It is absolutely clear that the main goal of the chemical provocations by extremists is to give another pretext to external opponents of the legitimate government in Damascus to carry out aggressive actions, similar to unlawful missile strikes by the United States, Great Britain and France on Syria in April this year, to undermine the establishment of the political process, to slow down the recovery of the country, and hinder the return of refugees and internally displaced persons to their homes. This cannot be allowed," the ministry stressed.
