MOSCOW, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - The Russian foreign minister voiced the doubts on Saturday that the Syrian authorities used the chemical weapons.

“The incumbent authorities are not driven to the wall now. Does this make any sense for them to use the chemical weapons, moreover at such a large scale? Just to expose themselves?” Lavrov said after the negotiations with his visiting Italian counterpart Emma Bonino.
