Lavrov: Russia made a significant contribution to the removal of Syrian chemical weapons

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at the Conference on Disarmament that Russia has made a significant contribution to Syria's chemical demilitarization operation.

"Russia has made a significant political and material contribution to the removal of all the components and precursors of chemical weapons from Syria, which became possible by the coordinated work of the UN, the OPCW and many states, especially Syria itself, whose government ensured the fulfillment of the obligations under the CWC in unprecedentedly difficult conditions and cooperated with international organizations," TASS cited the minister.
