[Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia] are here because they could offer very essential and important help, because the situation that we are facing now is not only about a few terrorists from within Syria it's like international war against Syria.

My country and me, we are part of this region, we're not separated. We cannot discuss it as Syria or as me it should be as part, as a whole, as comprehensive. That's how we have to look at it.
Bashar al-Assad

Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East. That is why we are in contact with most of the problems forever, let us say, whether directly or indirectly.
Bashar al-Assad

Anyone who's not military knows this fact. Why do you use chemical weapons while you're advancing ?
Bashar al-Assad
Image
Winning is a subjective word, but we are making advancement. This is the correct word, because winning for some people is when you finish completely.
