The missile attack on Syria was conceived as a signal for Russia and Iran. This is the meaning of the NATO countries. This statement was made on Monday, April 16 by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during his visit to Ankara. "The operation was a clear signal for Russia and Iran supporting the Syrian regime. It was also aimed at reducing the ability of Damascus in the use of chemical weapons, the investigation of which Russia has obstructed in the UN Security Council, "quotes the head of the alliance, the Turkish television channel NTV. What exactly was to be signaled by the missile attack on far-fetched grounds, the NATO head did not specify. At the same time Stoltenberg said that the alliance stands for holding political consultations with the Russian Federation. At the same time, the bloc countries unanimously supported the power scenario.

"All NATO members expressed full support for the actions of last night. We have no reason to doubt the assessments and findings of our members - France, Britain and the United States, "Stoltenberg said a few hours after the attack. According to him, under the circumstances, it was impossible to do otherwise. "NATO considers the use of chemical weapons as a threat to international peace and security. This requires a collective and effective response from the international community, "he said.. If the US and its allies did not launch a missile attack, this would undermine the peace process, Stoltenberg believes.. "If we silently reconciled with the use of chemical weapons, it would undermine efforts to find a political solution. We expressed support for the political process led by the UN, since there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria, "Stoltenberg said in one of his speeches. Russian politicians such consent of the NATO member states to the actions of the US military did not surprise. Obedience is bought for money, senator Alexei Pushkov is sure. "I did not doubt that all NATO countries would approve of strikes against Syria. Neither international law nor the "independence" of the member states has this relationship: the US pays for NATO - they receive support in the situations that they need.

For this, NATO was created to keep the US allies in check, "the politician wrote in his microblogging. The military intervention of the alliance countries did not bring peace to Syria, but, on the contrary, to the limit exacerbated the smoldering armed conflict. At the moment, in the city of Dumas, which was allegedly subjected to a chemical attack in early April, there are fighting between government forces and militants. The clashes, in particular, occurred in the Al-Rahmani quarter. There are dead and wounded, RIA Novosti reports..
