There are manifold data on Syria’s utilization of chemical weapon stating that it did not happen due to Bashar al-Assad. Political scientist Ara Papyan addressed the application of chemical weapon in Syria in the days during the press conference.
According to him the US-Russia reconciliation policy in Syria failed when the US stroke Syrian government airbase in president Trump’s order: “Russia has adopted resistance-confrontation path.” According to Ara Papyan the weakening of RF’s positions in Syria should be distressful to RA: “Russia does not henceforth view Assad’s remaining as a condition. Assad’s leaving will bring forth Syria’s split inasmuch as Russia was the one to keep him there.” The political scientist also noted that it is likely the chemical weapon appeared in Syria via Turkish territory.
