Russian Foreign Ministry hopes to get answers from OPCW experts on conclusions on chemical attack in Syria in April 2018

MOSCOW. Nov 28 (Interfax) - Moscow hopes that the countries of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will be given the opportunity to put questions to experts who doubted the organization's conclusions on the chemical incident in Syria's Douma, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

"We hope that the administration of the technical secretariat of the OPCW will still give the mission's experts who were involved in the investigation into this episode the opportunity to answer questions from the organization's member countries," Zakharova said at a briefing on Thursday.

All such requests have until now been declined, she said.

Wikileaks earlier published a letter by an official of the OPCW mission in Syria, in which the organization's conclusions on the chemical attack in Syria in April 2018 were doubted.
