MOSCOW. April 5 (Interfax) - The UN Security Council resolution on probable use of chemical weapons in Syria should call on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OCPW) to investigate the incident on the site, and also grant them unimpeded access to the place, Russian Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova said.

"It would be important to call on the OPCW mission in charge of establishing facts of the use of chemical weapons in Syria to fully investigate the reports on the incident on one mandatory condition: the personnel of the mission of investigators will be submitted to the UN Security Council for consideration and will be balanced geographically," she told a briefing on Wednesday.

Zakharova also called for OPCW experts to be granted unimpeded access to the incident place.
