Damascus, SANA- Syria affirmed its totally rejection of the report released by the so-called “Investigation and Identification Team” of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons(OPCW) yesterday about the alleged incident of using chlorine in Douma on April 7, 2018.

“Syria totally rejects the report released by the so-called “Investigation and Identification Team” of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons(OPCW) about alleged chemical attack in Douma on April, 2018 , in addition to its conclusions,” The Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement.

The statement said that the report lacks scientific and objective evidence, and no sane person or specialist can reach such misleading conclusions.

“Those who prepared this report neglected the objective observations raised by State parties, experts, academics and former OPCW inspectors, known for their expertise and knowledge,” the statement added.

The Foreign Ministry added that this misleading report did not surprise Syria and proves once again the correctness of its position on the OPCW reports, which lacked credibility.
