Chemical weapons in Syria: Assad's opposition is desperate for Western intervention - expert

The missile with a chemical agent was launched in the direction of Damascus suburbs from the positions of Syrian rebels. That’s according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. Earlier the country’s opposition accused President Bashar Assad’s forces of launching a nerve gas attack on rebel-held districts near Damascus. The news comes amid UN investigators' visit to the country in search for evidence of alleged chemical weapon use in Syria. The Voice of Russia discussed the evolving crisis with Marcus Papandopulous, a publisher and editor of Politics First.
Looks like the war of words in Syria is in full swing. The Syrian opposition blames Wednesday’s alleged chemical attack on the Assad regime which in turn says the accusations have been fabricated by the opposition to cover up the losses by the rebels. Who do you think in your opinion is interested more in this informational war?
First of all, a very serious allegation has been made against the Syrian government by the Islamist militants in Syria, namely, Free Syrian Army. The international community needs to approach this allegation in the same way that the court of law would – in an objective intelligent and sensible fashion. So, it does need to be investigated. However, going by the way western politicians are speaking and westerns journalists from the mainstream media are speaking, they’ve already decided within 24 hours that Syrian government is guilty of this allegation against it. How on earth can a politician or a journalist determine that within 24 hours? They are saying that simply because the Free Syrian Army is the proxy of the west. The west is using the Free Syrian Army to try and bring down the Syrian government. So, in my opinion I would pay very little credence to what western politicians and western journalists from the mainstream media are saying that.
