Russia cautions against mistake
Print Edition
Russia said yesterday that assigning blame too soon over an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria would be a “tragic mistake,” before a UN investigation today.
Without directly naming the United States but in comments that warned against any military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, Moscow urged against “hurried conclusions” over the reports of a poison gas attack.
“We strongly urge those who, in trying to impose their opinion on UN experts ahead of the results of an investigation, announce the possibility of military action against Syria, to exercise discretion and not make tragic mistakes,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
Russia, which has suggested Syrian rebels may have carried out the attack, said it welcomed Syria’s decision to allow UN experts to visit the site where hundreds of people were reported dead.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s office said Syria had promised to observe a ceasefire at the site in the suburbs of Damascus while a UN team investigates today.
