Democratic Unity Party: governance had never used chemical weapons so close to Damascus

Damascus -

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not responsible for the alleged use of poison gas in the vicinity of Damascus to assess the main Syrian Kurdish group.

Although the regime possessed chemical weapons, said the leader of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Saleh Muslim, on Monday in an interview with the Reuters news agency in Berlin.

The governance but would not use this in the near Damascus only five kilometers from the location of a group of UN Chemical Weapons experts.

"How stupid they are of course not," Muslim said.

He indirectly accused the rebels of being responsible for the attack, in which in the past week, probably hundreds of people were killed.

There were forces that wanted to represent the regime as culprits.

Moreover, not only the government possesses chemical weapons, Muslim said.

The Kurds form Syria, Turkey and important minorities in Iran, but have only about autonomy in northern Iraq.

In Syria, Kurdish militias took part in last year several districts and now want to establish a transitional council.

Western nations believe that Assad is responsible for the attack near Damascus.

Information they hope to gain from UN inspectors who have already resided for several other alleged chemical weapons attacks in Damascus.

The experts questioned on Monday survivors and took samples in a suburb of the capital.
