The Syrian government has accepted a Russian proposal to put its chemical weapons under international control, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said here on Tuesday.

"We held a round of very effective talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov yesterday. He proposed a chemical weapons initiative and we accepted the Russian initiative later that evening," al-Moualem said when meeting with State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin.

According to the diplomat, Syria made the decision in order to "stave off an American aggression," Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.
