Syria has written protest letters to the United Nations, informing the world body that “Turkey” is helping terrorists conduct false-flag chemical attacks in northwestern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo in an attempt to implicate Damascus.  

The Syrian army says foreign-sponsored terrorist groups are making preparations to stage false-flag chemical attacks in the northwestern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo to implicate government troops and invent pretexts for possible foreign acts of aggression against the Arab country.

Western attempts to manipulate the Chemical Weapons Convention have drawn Russia's firm response, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying the West tries to promote its own policies and turn the convention into its "obedient tool."
