More quotes by 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
We are very cautious in judging [Donald Trump], especially as he wasn't in a political position before.
Bashar al-Assad
I don't have support. Not me all Syria. Every agreement is between every class and every sector in Syria government, people, trade, military, culture, everything it's like the cooperation between your country and any other country in the world. It's the same cooperation. It's not about me it's not support for the crisis.
Bashar al-Assad
Many people, they flee not the war itself, but the consequences of the war, because they want to live, they want to have the basic needs for their livelihood, they don't have it. They have to flee these circumstances, not necessarily the security situation itself. So, you have different reasons for the people or the refugees to leave Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
We cannot tell anything about what [Donald Trump] is going to do, but if, let's say if he is going to fight the terrorists, of course we are going to be ally, natural ally in that regard with the Russian, with the Iranian, with many other countries who wanted to defeat the terrorists.
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
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
Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement.
Bashar al-Assad
Think of the war against terrorism. In my view, Washington's approach can be compared to a doctor constantly banging away at a tumor instead of removing it surgically.
Bashar al-Assad
Lebanon was under Israeli occupation, up to its capital, but we did not consider that a disaster. Why? Because it was very clear that there are ways to resist.
Bashar al-Assad
From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.
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
According to what we've been seeing recently in the area where the terrorists control, where they ban people from going to schools, ban young men from shaving their beards, and women have to be covered from head to toe, and let's say in brief they live the Taliban style in Afghanistan, completely the same style.
Bashar al-Assad
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
Bashar al-Assad
You can't say the people of Aleppo because the majority of the people of Aleppo are living in the area under the control of the government, so you cannot talk about the people of Aleppo.
Bashar al-Assad
We, in Syria, our point of view stems from our experience.
Bashar al-Assad
We have to wait and see when Donald J. Trump embarks his new mission, let's say, or position within this administration as President.
Bashar al-Assad
America is interested in re-arranging the region as it sees fit.
Bashar al-Assad
Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq? Definitely not however, the Iraqi people are standing fast and are defending their land courageously.
Bashar al-Assad
Terrorists have been supported by tens of foreign countries, so Syria alone wouldn't be able to face this kind of war without the help of its friends.
Bashar al-Assad
