When you use an armament, you use it to defend the civilians. You kill terrorists in order to defend civilians. That's the natural role of any army in the world.

More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
Look at the results of regime change in Iraq. You can't possibly claim that it was successful.
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
The most important part of [Russian] support is the aerial support, which is very essential, they have very strong firepower, and at the same time they are the main supply of our army for more than sixty years, so our army depends on the Russian support in different military domains.
Bashar al-Assad
America is interested in re-arranging the region as it sees fit.
Bashar al-Assad
The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.
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
The criteria or the paradigm for us is not the West, not the Western paradigm, because the West has its own culture, we have our own culture, they have their own reality, we have our own reality.
Bashar al-Assad
We've been dealing with this kind of terrorism since the fifties, since the Muslim Brotherhood came to Syria at that time.
Bashar al-Assad
At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.
Bashar al-Assad
Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement.
Bashar al-Assad
We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
Bashar al-Assad
I said we don't pin a lot of hopes of changing administrations [in U.S.] because that context has been going on for more than fifty years now, and that's expected. If they want to continue in the same position of the United States creating problems around the world, that's what they have to do: only interfering in the matters of other nations.
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
The Russians always base their policies on values, and these values are the sovereignty of other countries, the international law, respecting other people, other cultures, so they don't interfere in whatever is related to the future of Syria or the Syrian people.
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
We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.
Bashar al-Assad
We never said that the majority [of the terrorists] are not Syrians, but we said that the minority is what they call free Syrian army. That's what we said.
Bashar al-Assad
History teaches us that nobody can prevent a resistance group from arming when it has the support of the people.
Bashar al-Assad
Opposition doesn't mean to take arms and kill people and destroy everything.
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.
