London is trying to
impose its opinion on the OPC Weapons, the embassy said
MOSCOW, June 27.
/TASS/. London hasn’t presented any hard evidence for the Skripals case and is
trying to impose its opinion on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons (OPCW), the Russian Embassy to the Netherlands said on Wednesday.
""Deception"
is perhaps the word of a day. Has the UK presented any hard evidence for the
so-called "Skripals case"? No. They embroiled their allies in the
blatant campaign against Russia. Now they try to drag the #OPCW in their games
at the 4th special session of the CSP (the Conference of the States Parties to
the Chemical Weapons Convention)," the Embassy tweeted.
On April 12, the OPCW
published its conclusions on the investigation into the incident in Salisbury,
where former Russian military intelligence officer and British mole Sergei
Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in March. The report confirmed the
information about the toxic agent but shed no light on its origin.
Although the OPCW did
not publish the full version of the report, the UK came up with the claims the
organization had confirmed the Skripals’ exposure to a Novichok class agent
developed in the Soviet Union. Moscow earlier rejected all of the UK’s
accusations, saying that a program aimed at developing such a substance had
existed neither in the Soviet Union nor in Russia.
On Tuesday, the UK circulated
a draft resolution on empowering the OPCW to apportion blame for chemical
weapons incidents. The heads of the Russian, Iranian and Syrian delegations
demanded a discussion on the issue and postponing the voting on it for 24
hours.
