Syria: Russia argues that the West cannot prove chemical attack in Damascus

Russian diplomacy accuses the West of be evaluating the use of chemical weapons in Syria without evidence. After having asked the United States not to repeat what he calls "the Iraq adventure", the Russian Foreign Minister, in a bitterly ironic, argued that alleged attack may not pass a diversion. Sergei Lavrov, at a press conference, urged journalists to "pay attention to information on the chemical attack in the region of Gutha, which comes at a time when the Russian and American experts were preparing for the meeting in Geneva. There is no doubt that the hysteria around this attack disrupts the meeting. "

This meeting which would serve to negotiate peace in Syria and is being prepared for several months.

However, Germany, which has remained on the fringes of this diplomatic struggle, now says it can't wait much longer. The German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, defended in Berlin that "the use of chemical weapons is a crime against humanity. If you prove that it's true, the international community has to act and Germany will be next to these actions. We are in contact with the United Nations and our allies. "

On the side of the Syrian regime, President Bashar Al-Assad returned to deny the use of such weapons. In an interview with a Russian newspaper, Assad warned the United States that a military intervention would be "a failure, as in all previous wars unleashed, starting with Vietnam."
