Foreign Ministry: Syria warns that terrorists might use chemical weapons to frame Syrian army and justify a premeditated aggression on Syria

In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry said that the Syrian Arab Republic affirmed repeatedly and is now reiterating that it never has and never will use chemical weapons under any context, and at the same time Syria warns that the sides in the region and the world who are conspiring against it might provide chemical weapons to terrorist organizations to be used against the Syrian people and frame the Syrian Arab Army for the attacks, similar to what happened in Khan al-Assal in Aleppo and in al-Ghouta in Damascus Countryside last year.

The statement said that this scenario would be an attempt to fabricate an excuse to wage a premeditated aggression on Syria, particularly after Syria’s response to the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s initiative in 2013 foiled the aggression which was prepared for Syria.
