MOSCOW. April 27 (Interfax) - Experts of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have questioned six people out of those witnesses refuting the chemical attack in Syria's Douma, Alexander Shulgin, Russia's permanent representative to the OPCW, said.
"I must tell you that the OPCW's technical experts have already questioned six people out of the Syrian representatives staying there and others were ready to give testimony. Experts are guided by their own demands and perceptions. So they selected six people, talked with them and said that they are fully satisfied with their accounts and there are no further questions," Shulgin said, commenting on claims that important witnesses are being excluded from the investigation of the chemical incident in Syria's Douma, at a press conference following the briefing in The Hague broadcast by the Rossiya-24 (VGTRK) television channel.
"It was announced that there was a clandestine chemical laboratory and an ammunition depot in Douma," Shulging said. "Chemicals from the list in the Chemical Weapons Convention's addendum were found. It's necessary to look into what happened there," he said.
"Who else but OPCW inspectors, who are there at the moment, must look into it? We urge our colleagues and the technical secretariat to work on that," he said.
