More quotes by 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
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
Whenever you have a war, the civilians and the innocents will pay the price. That's in any war, any war is a bad war.
Bashar al-Assad
You cannot be desperate when the army is making advances. That should have happened - if we take into consideration that this presumption is correct and this is reality - you use it when you're in a desperate situation.
Bashar al-Assad
[Chemical weapons] isn't about what the United States believe in, it's about the reality that we have, and this reality, we own it, we don't have to discuss it.
Bashar al-Assad
You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.
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
The worst loss for any country is not the infrastructure or the buildings or the material loss actually, it's the human resources loss.
Bashar al-Assad
I wouldn't tell the President [Barack Obama] or any other official, because we are disappointed by their behavior recently, because we expected this administration to be different from Bush's administration. They are adopting the same doctrine with different accessories.
Bashar al-Assad
As a state, as a government, in 2001 we proposed to the United Nations to empty or to get rid of every WMD in the Middle East, and the United States stood against that proposal. This is our conviction and policy.
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
Did the President order anyone to kill civilians, did he order the destruction, did he order supporting terrorism in his country? Of course not.
Bashar al-Assad
Any cooperation that doesn't go through the Syrian government is not legal. If it's not legal, we cannot cooperate with, and we don't recognize and we don't accept.
Bashar al-Assad
Winning is a subjective word, but we are making advancement. This is the correct word, because winning for some people is when you finish completely.
Bashar al-Assad
I will tell [Barack Obama] very simply : present what you have as evidence to the public, be transparent.
Bashar al-Assad
Opposition doesn't mean to take arms and kill people and destroy everything.
Bashar al-Assad
It started partly as a sectarian war in some areas, but now it's not, because when you talk about sectarian war or religious war, you should have a very clear line between the sects and religions in Syria according to the geography and the demography in Syria, something we don't have.
Bashar al-Assad
Armies are not only for offensives.
Bashar al-Assad
Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one.
Bashar al-Assad
Those who arrived on America's tanks are not credible in Iraq.
