Head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria, Major-General Yury Yevtushenko rejected reports on the use of chemical weapons by Syrian government forces in the city of Dumas.

"Strongly refute this information and declare our readiness after the liberation of the city of the Duma from the militants to immediately send Russian experts of radiation, chemical and biological protection to collect data that will confirm the fabricated nature of these statements," Tass quotes.
