Talks on restoration of Syria's suspended OPCW rights still premature

Moscow, Jul 30 (UNI/Sputnik) Russia's permanent representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Alexander Shulgin, told Sputnik in an interview that it was still too early to talk about the restoration of Syria's OPCW rights despite Damascus fulfilling its Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) obligations.
Throughout the Syrian conflict over the past 10 years, Western countries and their allies have accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against the country’s civilian population. During the 25th Session of the Conference of the States Parties to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) this past April, France presented a draft resolution, which provides for the suspension of the rights and privileges of Syria in the organization over alleged violation of the CWC. Members of the organization adopted the resolution by a majority vote.
"It's too early to talk about the restoration of Syria's rights in the OPCW, but it continues to fulfill its CWC obligations, ... Delegations have yet to assess the scope and impact of such a step [suspension of rights]. ... The so-called friends of Syria are well aware that the ultimatum conditions they have put forward to Damascus are unfeasible," Shulgin said.
