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
We are the fault line if you don't deal with this fault line, you're going to have an earthquake, that's what we always said.
Bashar al-Assad
Every country has criminals who have to be fought. They can exist anywhere, including the government or the army - or outside the government and army.
Bashar al-Assad
If you want to kill the Syrian people, who's going to support us as a government, as officials? No one.

Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East.
Bashar al-Assad
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.

It's our right to defend our country against any kind of invasion.
Bashar al-Assad
We're not in the area where the alleged chemical attack happened. I said alleged. We're not sure that anything happened.
Bashar al-Assad
The criteria or the paradigm for us is not the West, not the Western paradigm, because the West has its own culture, we have our own culture, they have their own reality, we have our own reality.
Bashar al-Assad
The other thing we did as government is to open gates for the civilians to leave that [ eastern part] area [in Aleppo], and at the same time for the humanitarian convoys and help to go through those gates inside that part of Aleppo, but the terrorists publicly refused any solution, so they wanted to keep the situation as it is.
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
Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
[The Jews] tried to kill the principles of all religions with the same mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they tried to betray and kill the Prophet Muhammad.
Bashar al-Assad
[Hezbollah forces] cannot exist all over Syria anyway, for many reasons, but they exist on the borders.
Bashar al-Assad
I believe that the United States is not genuine regarding having a cessation of violence in Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
This is the Middle East, where every week you have something new so whatever you talk about this week will not be valuable next week.
Bashar al-Assad
Any strike will be as direct support to Al-Qaeda offshoot that's called Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. You're right about this. It's going to be direct support.
Bashar al-Assad
