俄羅斯與西方在敘利亞化武襲擊問題上仍有分歧

Russia and Western powers remain divided on who was responsible for a chemical weapons attack in Syria, but are continuing to work together toward a United Nations resolution on the removal of Syria's chemical arsenal.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday the attack last month near Damascus was likely a "provocation" by rebels seeking to draw in outside military help.

His French counterpart, Laurent Fabius, told a joint news conference after their meeting in Moscow that evidence presented in a report by U.N. investigators released Monday "seems to leave no doubt" that Syrian forces were the ones who deployed chemical weapons.

The inspection report presented to the U.N. Security Council does not assess blame for the attack. But the report's underlying evidence, including the trajectory of poison-filled rockets, was cited by the United States and its Western allies as proof of the Syrian government's responsibility.俄羅斯和西方大國在誰是敘利亞化學武器襲擊的兇手問題上仍然意見對立，不過各國繼續共事，爭取達成一項移除敘利亞化學武庫的聯合國決議。

俄羅斯外長拉夫羅夫星期二說，上個月發生在大馬士革附近的襲擊事件可能是反政府武裝分子“挑起事端”，企圖引來外國軍事援助。

法國外長法比尤斯在莫斯科與俄羅斯外長會晤之後在聯合記者會上說，聯合國調查人員星期一提交的證據表明，部署化武的“似乎毫無疑問”是敘利亞政府軍。

武器檢查員向聯合國安理會提交的報告沒有分析襲擊責任方是誰。不過美國和西方盟國引用報告中隱晦的證據說，敘利亞政府要對化武襲擊負責，這些證據包括帶有毒氣的火箭的彈道軌跡。
