Moscow expects new report of UN experts on chemical weapons in Syria to be comprehensive - Russian Foreign Ministry

NIZHNY TAGIL. Sept 26 (Interfax-AVN) - Russia supports sending a new group of UN chemical weapons experts to Syria and hopes that the report they prepare will be objective, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Thursday.

"We think that this decision is correct. And the report, which will be prepared, should be comprehensive and should not contain any hastily-made or one-sided conclusions, which the initial material given to UN Under-Secretary General Angela Kane contains," Ryabkov said at a round table on weapons export issues.

The group of UN experts arrived in Damascus on September 25 in order to investigate all cases of chemical weapons use in Syria, Ryabkov said.
