Syria’s chemical weapons in Albania?

Some foreign media outlets have also mentioned this, but National Journal has dedicated a full article to this topic. The article quotes that the sources have mentioned some countries, among which is Belgium, which has not excluded the acceptance of these weapons. This would mean using special machineries secured by the United States for metling 1000 tons of nerve agent sarin and mustard gas.

Every country that will accept taking this political and environmental burden, everything will depend on the money that will be invested and the will to participate, declared in an interview Paul Walker from the International Green Cross. Washington asked its allies in Western Europe to take in consideration the acceptance of the Syrian illegal weapons.

Based on the speculations made by him in the past week with the United States government officials, Walker says that the best possible options so far seem Albania, Belgium and France. In an interview for Global Security Newswire and other experts, other countries that may add to the list are Sweden and Denmark, but they add that the main candidates are Albania and Belgium.

The United States officials were surprised by Norway’s decision to withdraw. But Olso has quoted the time limits and international rules as the main obstacle from being involved. The United States State Department has given no official comment on this issue. In 2007, Albania became the first country in the world that eliminated all chemical weapons openly, by eliminating more than 16 tons of mustard gas and other toxic agents.
