(MENAFN) On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow calls on Western countries to stop meddling with the work of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in Syria (OPCW), in a reference on the French Foreign Ministry's allegations that Russia and Syria are impeding the work of the OPCW mission.
"First, it was Russia that called for an immediate OPCW inspection," she stressed.
She stated that such position of the French Foreign Ministry "is surprising", underlining that "We call on Western countries that staged the illegitimate strike on Syria to stop manipulating public opinion and meddling with the work of international organizations", TASS reported.
"Second, not being the organizer of the mission, the Russian side offered all possible assistance to it. And now, the inspectors have reached Douma," Zakharova added.
