Government Syria denies using poison gas

damascus - Syria does not recognize in a UN report in which it is held responsible for a deadly attack with chemical weapons in April. The government of President Bashar al-Assad claims not to have used such weapons, nor is it going to be.

According to SANA state agency, Damascus has sent a response to the report to the United Nations. It emphasizes that 'Syria has not used poisonous gas against its own people because it is not available in the first place. '
