Bashar al-Assad
If you want to be transparent with your people, do not do anything cosmetic, whether to deceive your people or to get some applaud from the West.
Bashar al-Assad
Whatever the American officials said about the conflicts in Syria in general has no credibility. Whatever they say, it's just lies and, let's say, bubbles, has no foundation on the ground.
Bashar al-Assad
We feel pain for every Syrian victim.
Bashar al-Assad
We are ready to cooperate in any way to achieve stability in Syria, of course taking into consideration the interest of the country, and the will of the Syrian people.
Bashar al-Assad
