“Their military action has been limited and directed only at the objects of chemical weapons. There was no alternative to the use of force”, — quotes his words TASS.
The strike has weakened the ability of Damascus to use chemical weapons, said Mr. Stoltenberg.”At the same time, it was a strong signal that can be forced to abandon chemical weapons in the future,” he said.
NATO believes that the attacks on the United States and allies will not prevent a political settlement of the Syrian conflict.
On the contrary, if we looked at the use of chemical weapons, it would undermine the political process. We have clearly expressed support for the political process, the military solution to the conflict there.Jens Stoltenbergsalen NATO Secretary
The attacks on the United States, Britain and France cannot guarantee that a chemical attack will not happen again, says Jens Stoltenberg. “Of course, there can be no guarantees when it regime, as well as state and non-state players who are willing to use chemical weapons, he said.— So we have to work tirelessly to protect and strengthen the regime for the prohibition of chemical weapons”.
