More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
At the end, I said [chemical weapons] is something not to be discussed with anyone.
Bashar al-Assad
The question is who threw chemicals on the same day on our soldiers. That's the same question. Technically, not the soldiers. Soldiers don't throw missiles on themselves. So, either the rebels, the terrorists, or a third party. We don't have any clue yet.
Bashar al-Assad
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
Bashar al-Assad
The most important part of [Russian] support is the aerial support, which is very essential, they have very strong firepower, and at the same time they are the main supply of our army for more than sixty years, so our army depends on the Russian support in different military domains.
Bashar al-Assad
The place where the interests of all parties come together is the international community, along with its resolutions.
Bashar al-Assad
As a state, as a government, in 2001 we proposed to the United Nations to empty or to get rid of every WMD in the Middle East, and the United States stood against that proposal. This is our conviction and policy.
Bashar al-Assad
Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.
Bashar al-Assad
We don't say that we don't have it, we're still secular in Syria, but with the time, this secularism will be eroded.
Bashar al-Assad
Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that don't deal with terrorists as playing games. It's a different story. You're going to pay the price if you're not wise in dealing with terrorists.
Bashar al-Assad
Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.
Bashar al-Assad
Revolution should be Syrian, cannot be revolution imported from abroad.
Bashar al-Assad
In the initiative that we issued at the beginning of year 2013 we said every party with no exceptions as long as they give up their armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.
Bashar al-Assad
The United States' credibility is at an all-time low. So, this war is against the interest of the Untied States.
Bashar al-Assad
As we see now the American officials, they say something in the morning and they do the opposite in the evening. So, you cannot judge those people according to what they say. You cannot take them at their words, to be frank.
Bashar al-Assad
I said we don't pin a lot of hopes of changing administrations [in U.S.] because that context has been going on for more than fifty years now, and that's expected. If they want to continue in the same position of the United States creating problems around the world, that's what they have to do: only interfering in the matters of other nations.
Bashar al-Assad
Many people do not understand the difference between peace and a peace treaty. If you want to have real peace with normal relations between people, you need to have comprehensive peace.
Bashar al-Assad
We, in Syria, our point of view stems from our experience.
Bashar al-Assad
People do not only live on interests they also live on beliefs, especially in very ideological areas. Unless you understand the ideological aspect of the region, you cannot understand what is happening.
