According to an Iran Press report, Mikhail Ulyanov, speaking on Monday at IAEA headquarters in Vienna, emphasized that the Agency has no evidence whatsoever against Syria.
In further comments, Ulyanov said: "If the IAEA accuses the Syrian government of using chemical weapons, then there will be serious repercussions for the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), the cornerstone of the international community's efforts to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. Trust in the impartiality of the Agency will also be lost."
Earlier, the spokesman for Russia's defense ministry, General Igor Konashenkov, had warned that terrorists in Idlib province in northwestern Syria were preparing to stage a 'false flag' chemical attack, having transferred deadly and toxic chemicals into the region.
According to Konashenkov the terrorists had recently held a meeting in Idlib province, in which a scenario for staging a fake chemical attack had been discussed in detail, with the intention of pinning the blame for the attack on the government in Damascus.
Earlier in August,in an explosion in town of Sarmada in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib 50 people, including children, were killed.
It is worth noting that Idlib province is the last stronghold of terrorists in Syria, and if terrorists are expelled from this province, the war in Syria would be effectively over, and president Bashar al-Assad and his government would have clinched a remarkable victory against US-trained and US-armed terrorists.
More than 330,000 people have been killed in Syria and millions have been driven from their homes since the conflict began in March 2011, and the infrastructure of the country destroyed.
