Obama’s policy triggers chemical attacks in Syria : Russia’s UN deputy envoy

The policy of former US administration headed by Barack Obama, which warned of military operations in Syria in case chemical weapons attacks were carried out, has pushed terrorists to act this way, Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Vladimir Safronkov said at Wednesday’s session of the UN Security Council.


"The former US administration’s so-called red lines, which should have triggered a military interference in the internal Syrian conflict if crossed, marked a watershed in the history of toxic chemicals in Syria and followed by full-blown poisonous substances," Safronkov said. "That decision became a pivot for further provocations by terrorist and extremist bodies, with the use of chemical weapons."..........http://tass.com/politics/939624
