TEHRAN(DEFAPRESS) Given the above issue, UK pressurized opposition members of Syrian government to set up and stage a chemical attack in Syria, he emphasized.

“We have enough information, showing that UK government pressurized Syrian opposition groups to wage military attack in Syria,” he opined.

For his part, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a joint meeting with his Dutch counterpart announced, “the scene of chemical attack on Syria’s Douma city is done by an intelligence service of a country which is against policies taken by Russian government in the region.”
