Personally, I do not support the concept of suicide bombings. This is not part of our [syrian] culture. But whether you condemn them or not, suicide bombings are a reality.

More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
My decision was, and the decision of the different institutions, and the decision of the different officials in Syria - I'm on top of them - was to have dialogue, to fight terrorists, and to reform as a response at the very beginning, response to the allegations, let's say, at that time, that they needed reform in Syria, we responded.
Bashar al-Assad
When you have terrorists, you don't throw at them balloons or you don't use rubber sticks, for example. You have to use armaments.
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
You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.
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
I would say I need two things: the first one is to be objective in every statement he could make regarding any conflict around the world, including Syria. The second one is not to turn Secretary-General office into a part or branch of the State Department of the United States.
Bashar al-Assad
We can have national dialogue where different Syrian parties sit and discuss the future of Syria. You can have interim government or transitional government. Then you have final elections, parliamentary elections, and you're going to have presidential elections.
Bashar al-Assad
Regarding fighting terrorism, we are ready to cooperate with anyone in this world with no conditions. That's crux of our policy, not today, not yesterday for years, even before the war on Syria, we always said that.
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
It's not exactly fair to make a mistake yourself and then start blaming others for 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
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
[Hezbollah forces] cannot exist all over Syria anyway, for many reasons, but they exist on the borders.
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
We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.
Bashar al-Assad
Those who arrived on America's tanks are not credible in Iraq.
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
We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
Bashar al-Assad
It would be a mistake to link anything that Israel does to a certain circumstance. And it is a mistake to feel comfortable in any circumstance just because Israel did not act on it.
Bashar al-Assad
How can you be afraid to feel? Isn't fear a feeling? If you're feeling fear, you've felt one of the most negative emotions there is to feel. Everything else should be a piece of cake. Feel good, feel happy, feel healthy, feel loved, feel abundant, feel creative, feel compassionate, feel knowledgeable, feel powerful.
Bashar al-Assad
