More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
We feel pain for every Syrian victim.
Bashar al-Assad
When you talk about humanitarian, it doesn't only mean to offer the people the help, the food, their necessary needs for their life. The first thing, if you ask the Syrian refugees, for example, the first thing they want is to go back to their country.
Bashar al-Assad
The question is who threw chemicals on the same day on our soldiers. That's the same question. Technically, not the soldiers. Soldiers don't throw missiles on themselves. So, either the rebels, the terrorists, or a third party. We don't have any clue yet.
Bashar al-Assad
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.
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
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 part in Aleppo, what [people] call it the eastern part, is occupied by the terrorists for the last three years, and they have been using the civilians as human shields.
Bashar al-Assad
America is interested in re-arranging the region as it sees fit.
Bashar al-Assad
Simply naming objectives isn't sufficient for a vision. If I say that I'm going to build a large palace, but I don't have any money to do so, then that is not a vision - it's an illusion.
Bashar al-Assad
Fighting the terrorists in Syria is not only in the interest of Syria or the Syrian people in the interest of the Middle East, of Europe itself - something that many officials in the West don't see or don't realize or don't acknowledge - and in the interest of the Russian people, because they have been facing terrorists for decades now.
Bashar al-Assad
For the West, they wanted to undermine the Syrian positions. For the petrodollar countries like Saudi Arabia, they're thinking undermining Syria will undermine Iran on sectarian basis.
Bashar al-Assad
When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.
Bashar al-Assad
Since the beginning of the crisis, since the terrorists started to control some areas within Syria, the majority of the Syrian civilians left that areas to join the government areas, not vice versa. If the majority of the Syrians don't trust the government, they should go the other way.
Bashar al-Assad
When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.
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
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
In the initiative that we issued at the beginning of year 2013 we said every party with no exceptions as long as they give up their armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
You have different parties, different factions, you have different ideologies you have everything in Middle East region now.
Bashar al-Assad
In the eighties, we asked for international coalition against terrorism after the Muslim Brotherhood crisis in Syria when they started killing, of course they were defeated at that time. We asked for the same thing. So, this is a long-term policy that we base our policy on for years now.
Bashar al-Assad
The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.
