Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told US media he has evidence that Syria employed chemical weapons against opposition forces.
He cited as proof the discovery of missile remains and added that Syrian patients brought to Turkey "were wounded by these chemical weapons".
Mr Erdogan rejected the idea that the weapons could have been used by rebels.
This contradicts an earlier claim by a UN expert who said there were "concrete suspicions" that rebels used nerve gas.
Carla del Ponte, who serves on the Commission of Inquiry on Syria, said testimony from victims strongly suggested that opposition fighters had used sarin, an extremely potent chemical nerve agent - although there was "no incontrovertible proof".
However, the commission later stressed that it had "not reached conclusive findings" as to their use by any parties.
