More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
Of course, when Secretary-General is objective, he can play an important role in dealing with different officials in the United Nations in order to bring the policies of the different states - mainly Russia and the United States - toward more cooperation and more stability regarding Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.
Bashar al-Assad
To have opposition ? We have it, and you can go and meet with them. We have some of them within the government, we have some of them outside the government. They are opposition. We have it.
Bashar al-Assad
I think the most important part of this now is, let's say the American people, but the polls show that the majority now don't want a war, anywhere, not only against Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
The most significant indicator that there is no disaster in Iraq is the fact that there is no exodus.
Bashar al-Assad
Talking about winning and losing is like if you're talking about two armies fighting on two territories, which is not the case. Those [terrorists] are gangs, coming from abroad, infiltrate inhabited areas, kill the people, take their houses, and shoot at the army. The army cannot do the same, and the army doesn't exist everywhere.
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
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
First of all, when you have a doctor who cut the leg to prevent the patient from the gangrene if you have to, we don't call butcher you call him a doctor, and thank you for saving the lives.
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
At the end, I said [chemical weapons] is something not to be discussed with anyone.
Bashar al-Assad
[American's government] thinking they are the judge of the world they're not.
Bashar al-Assad
Freedom and democracy are nothing but instruments, just like stability. The goal is called progress and growth. Anyone who puts freedom ahead of stability is hurting growth.
Bashar al-Assad
In Great Britain, an author published a book in which he claimed that Jesus Christ had children. Such statements don't trigger civil unrest and bloodshed in Europe. But write similar statements about Islam in Syria and you might see bloody uprisings.
Bashar al-Assad
Whenever you have a war, the civilians and the innocents will pay the price. That's in any war, any war is a bad war.
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
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
The army is making good advancement on daily basis against the terrorists. Of course, they still have the support of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and some Western countries including the United States, but the only option that we have in that regard is to win.
Bashar al-Assad
In reality, you cannot withstand for five years and more against all those countries, the West, and the Gulf states, the petrodollars, and all this propaganda, the strongest media corporations around the world, if you don't have the support of your own people. That's against the reality.
Bashar al-Assad
The only one who can fight for these values like democracy and freedoms are the people of any country or any society, not the foreigners.
