More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
I don't believe in war, I believe in the principle of deterrence.
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
From Russia for example, we have political support, which is different from the cooperation. We have cooperation for 60 years now, but now we have political support.
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
Whether you call it terrorism or resistance, and whether you like Hamas or not, it is a political entity that no one can ignore.
Bashar al-Assad
We've been dealing with this kind of terrorism since the fifties, since the Muslim Brotherhood came to Syria at that time.
Bashar al-Assad
Hezbollah fighters are on the borders with Lebanon where the terrorists attacked them. On the borders with Lebanon, this is where Hezbollah retaliated, and this is where we have cooperation, and that's good.
Bashar al-Assad
I believe that the United States is not genuine regarding having a cessation of violence in Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
If you want to kill the Syrian people, who's going to support us as a government, as officials? No one.
Bashar al-Assad
When you're in the middle of a storm, leaving your country just because you have to leave without any reasonable reason, it means you're quitting your country and this is treason.
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
A bomb is a bomb, what's the difference between different kinds of bombs? All bombs are to kill, but it's about how to use it.
Bashar al-Assad
In the war, you lose areas, but you recapture another area. So, it is difficult to tell whether you are losing or gaining or it was a standstill. No-one has this answer.
Bashar al-Assad
We learned that lesson very well, especially in the eighties, that terrorists cannot be used as a political card, you cannot put it in your pocket, because it's like a scorpion it will bite you someday.
Bashar al-Assad
You cannot be desperate when the army is making advances. That should have happened - if we take into consideration that this presumption is correct and this is reality - you use it when you're in a desperate situation.
Bashar al-Assad
I cannot afford to make mistakes.
Bashar al-Assad
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.
Bashar al-Assad
We have hopes that we can see rational American presidents fair, obey the international law, deal with other countries according to mutual respect, parity, etc., but we all know that this is only wishful thinking and fantasy.
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
[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.
