More quotes by 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
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
Bashar al-Assad
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.
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 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
We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.
Bashar al-Assad
Whether you call it terrorism or resistance, and whether you like Hamas or not, it is a political entity that no one can ignore.
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
Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East.
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
The problem with the West is that they start with political reform going towards democracy. If you want to go towards democracy, the first thing is to involve the people in decision making, not to make it.
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
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
I don't have support. Not me all Syria. Every agreement is between every class and every sector in Syria government, people, trade, military, culture, everything it's like the cooperation between your country and any other country in the world. It's the same cooperation. It's not about me it's not support for the crisis.
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
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
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
Look at the results of regime change in Iraq. You can't possibly claim that it was successful.
Bashar al-Assad
Israel does not care about the international public opinion.
