Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi has
called on Kazakhstan to condemn the
“inhumane” use of chemical weapons by
the foreign-backed militants in the
northwestern Syrian city of Aleppo.
At least 25 people were killed and 86
others injured after militants fired missiles
containing poisonous gas into Aleppo’s
Khan al-Assal village on March 19. Women
and children were among the victims.
The Syrian crisis began in mid-March
2011. Many people, including large
numbers of security personnel, have been
killed in the violence, and several
international human rights organizations
say the foreign-sponsored militants have
committed war crimes.
In a meeting with Kazakhstan’s Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs Kairat Sarybay,
Iran’s Ambassador to Astana Qorban Seifi
conveyed an oral message from Salehi to
his Kazakh counterpart Erlan Idrissov.
In his message, Salehi censured the use of
chemical weapons in Aleppo and said as
one of the main victims of such weapons,
the Islamic Republic calls on Kazakhstan to
spare no effort to prevent the repetition
of similar incidents in future.
The Iranian minister also urged his Kazakh
counterpart to support an impartial probe
into the crime and the punishment of its
perpetrators.
The Syrian government says the chaos is
being orchestrated from outside the
country, and there are reports that a very
large number of the militants fighting the
Syrian government are foreign nationals.
