TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_In a statement carried by Syria’s official SANA news agency, an official source at Syria’s Foreign Ministry made the comment on Monday, three days after the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) observed the annual Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare.
The official said the annual occasion should be a day to remember all the wars waged by Washington under the pretext of WMD, “devastating states and peoples and civilizations including Iraq, only to admit later that its information was wrong and that its wars were based on lies.”
This occasion brings to mind the atomic bombs the US detonated on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II; and also all the incidents when Washington, as a pioneer, used WMD, whose devastating impact caused irreversible humanitarian disasters that constitute a disgrace for a country “that claims to champion democracy, freedom, and the safety of peoples and demands that others refrain from using such weapons,” the statement added.
