Quote:
“For example the chemical attack in Ghouta. Remember. It was claimed that the regime forces were behind it.
This attack was conducted just days before the sarin operation in Turkey.
It’s a high probability that this attack was carried out with those basic materials shipped through Turkey.
It is said the regime forces are responsible but the indictment says it’s ISIS.
UN inspectors went to the site but they couldn’t find any evidence.
But in this indictment, we’ve found the evidence.
We know who used the sarin gas, and our government knows it too,” he said.

Quote:
In mid-September 2013, the UN investigation team reported that it had confirmed the use of sarin in the Ghouta attack.[17] The Mission "collected clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used in the Ein Tarma, Moadamiyah and Zalmalka in the Ghouta area of Damascus."[29] In 2014, a report of the UN Human Rights Council found that "significant quantities of sarin were used in a well-planned indiscriminate attack targeting civilian-inhabited areas, causing mass casualties. The evidence available concerning the nature, quality and quantity of the agents used on 21 August indicated that the perpetrators likely had access to the chemical weapons stockpile of the Syrian military, as well as the expertise and equipment necessary to manipulate safely large amount of chemical agents."[30] It also stated that the chemical agents used in the Khan al-Assal chemical attack "bore the same unique hallmarks" as those used in Al-Ghouta attack.[30][31][32]
The Syrian government and opposition blamed each other for the attack.[33] Many governments said the attack was carried out by forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad,[34][35] a conclusion echoed by the Arab League and the European Union.[36][37] The Russian government called the attack a false flag operation by the opposition to draw foreign powers into the civil war on the rebels' side.[38] �ke Sellström, the leader of the UN Mission, characterized government explanations of rebel chemical weapons acquisition as unconvincing, resting in part upon "poor theories."[39]

Appeal to a Lack of Evidence (Argumentum Ad Ignorantium, literally "Argument from Ignorance"):
Produce the evidence or STFU RT. RT is publishing accusations from a Turkish opposition party member. I guess that's news or propaganda.
