More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
It's not exactly fair to make a mistake yourself and then start blaming others for it.
Bashar al-Assad
We are worried that rebels are taking control in many countries, and look at the results now. Are you satisfied as an American ? What are the results ? Nothing. Very bad - nothing good.
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
From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.
Bashar al-Assad
You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.
Bashar al-Assad
The first thing you have to learn is how to conduct dialogue and how to make it productive.
Bashar al-Assad
When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.
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
When you're in the middle of a storm, leaving your country just because you have to leave without any reasonable reason, it means you're quitting your country and this is treason.
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
Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one.
Bashar al-Assad
This is reality. If [the American officials] want to believe, that's good, that will help them understand the region and be more successful in their policies.
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
[Peace in Syria] is [António Guterres] priority, and of course it's our priority, that's self-evident.
Bashar al-Assad
It's our right to defend our country against any kind of invasion.
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've never heard of soft war.There's no soft war. War is war. Any war is ruthless. When you fight terrorists, you fight them like any other war.
Bashar al-Assad
We are very cautious in judging [Donald Trump], especially as he wasn't in a political position before.
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
I cannot afford to make mistakes.
