Lavrov: Avoiding Idlib ‘attack’ probe would mean international community not looking for truth

‘If an international inquiry into the chemical attack in Syria’s Idlib is not instituted, it will mean that the international community is not interested in establishing the truth about the matter, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after talks with his US counterpart in Moscow.
“I would like to stress that we are 100 percent sure that, if our colleagues in the UN or in The Hague will steer away from this investigation, it will basically mean that they do not want to find out the truth,” the Russian Foreign Minister said, adding, that Russia “will insist on” launching the investigation.
At the same time, Lavrov the official noted that Moscow that Washington is ready to support the idea of launching an international inquiry into the alleged chemical weapons attack in Idlib. He also stressedthat any UN Security Council resolution that focused on solely blaming Damascus and not on investigating the Idlib incident would be counterproductive.’
