Rebels used chemical weapon in Syria. There are materials saying that
revels have chemical weapons, political expert, Sarkis Grigoryan,
said at today's press-conference.
He think that it is not beneficial to President of Syria Bahar Asad
to use chemical weapon at this stage, as the government forces gained
success for the last period of time and rebels were splintered.
"Moreover, UN experts visited the country, and in such conditions
the authorities held back from drastic measures", - he said and added
that an incident with chemical weapon may have an ambivalent way upon
Asad's positions. "On the one hand, if it is proved that the weapon
was used by the opposition, that will mean that Asad does not control
the situation in the country. Such a circumstance may free foreign
forces' hands, which will use it like the reason to interfere Syria
with a purpose to establish peace there. On the other hand, there is
a numerous number of citizens in Syria which have a neutral position,
and this incident may drive them to join Asad. We have already noticed
such tendencies", - Grigoryan said.
