STEPANAKERT, APRIL 14, ARTSAKHPRESS:“This will reduce the regime’s ability to further attack the people of Syria with chemical weapons,” he said in a statement.

NATO considers the use of chemical weapons as a threat to international peace and security, and believes that it is essential to protect the Chemical Weapons Convention. This calls for a collective and effective response by the international community,” the statement reads.
