VLADIVOSTOK. June 25 (Interfax) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has called fantasies the allegations of Damascus using chemical weapons in Eastern Ghouta and reiterated the stance that all chemical weapon stockpiles were completely destroyed by the Syrian government.
The tales about chemical weapons are part of the political line aimed against the Syrian government, al-Assad said on Russia's NTV television channel.
This chemical weapons story has been a pretext for a direct military intervention and for attacks on the Syrian army, and it happened many times and every time one hears fantasies about chemical weapons when terrorists under their control are facing defeat, he said.
The reality is that Syria has disposed of chemical weapons completely, al-Assad said.
