Moscow, April 13 (RHC)—The Russian government says it has “irrefutable” data showing that the incident in Douma, Syria, was staged by the intelligence services of a foreign state pushing a “Russophobic” campaign.

Russia Today reports that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made that statement during a news conference with his Dutch counterpart Stef Blok on Friday.

During their meeting in Moscow, both diplomats touched upon Syria, which has recently been threatened with new military strikes in the wake of an alleged chemical attack.

Some Western leaders, including from the US and France, claim that the Syrian government is behind the alleged incident.

The accusations have been made despite a team from the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), tasked with establishing the truth, has just arrived in Syria.

Russia’s top diplomat warned against following the Libyan and Iraqi scenarios amid the intensifying bellicose rhetoric.

“God forbid something adventurous will be undertaken in Syria similar to the Libyan or Iraqi experience… I hope nobody dares to,” Lavrov told reporters.

Otherwise, a new wave of refugees will surge into Europe and in other directions, the foreign minister warned. However, this scenario does not bother those “who are protected by an ocean” and can rip apart the region for the sake of geopolitical interests, he said.
