Syrian spokesman refutes Israeli allegations on chemical weapons
Israel-Syria, Politics, 12/26/2002

A spokesman for the Syrian foreign ministry said the following: What has been rumored by Sharon of allegations that Iraq transported to Syria chemical and germ weapons is null and void and simultaneously aims at converting the attention from the nuclear, chemical and germ arsenals owned by Israel for which money and weapons are rendered to protect and develop it.

This very accusation against Syria is ridiculous because Syria had signed the Non- Proliferation of nuclear weapons Treaty ( NPT) and has called on the Arab states, as a whole to make the Middle East region free from any mass destruction, nuclear, chemical and germ weapons and the only side which still stands against this call is Israel.

Israel, with its mass destruction arsenals it owns, constitutes a danger not only against the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon but against the region as a whole and against world peace and security, Suria said.
