Albania agrees to destroy Syria weapons

BRUSSELS—Albania has reached a basic agreement with the United States that it will destroy Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal, The Yomiuri Shimbun learned on Wednesday.

If the agreement is given the final nod, the United States would likely provide Albania with portable facilities for destroying chemical weapons after they are transported to the Balkan country, according to a source at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Damascus will ship its chemical materials to a port in western Syria with help from Russia. From there, a Belgium commercial vessel will deliver the weapons to Albania, according to the source at the chemical watchdog based in The Hague. Several European countries would provide escort ships for the delivery, the source said.

The United States, Russia and other concerned parties are continuing to make arrangements for the decommissioning effort. However, some countries that were said to be possible destinations for Syria’s chemical arsenal have opposed this latest plan.

In light of such objections, the OPCW will not specify to which country Syria’s chemical weapons will be delivered when it submits a plan to the organization’s Executive Council on Friday regarding the chemical weapons’ destruction, according to a different source.

The plan, which would maintain the goal of dismantling Syria’s chemical weapons by mid-2014, would specify deadlines for destroying the weapons depending on how toxic the chemical materials involved are and their volume. Chemical materials that are deemed more poisonous would be taken out of Syria for destruction first.

Some kinds of chemicals that do not require advanced techniques for destruction could be processed within Syria along with munitions that do not contain chemicals, according to the plan.
