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.

More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
The most significant indicator that there is no disaster in Iraq is the fact that there is no exodus.
Bashar al-Assad
We are ready to cooperate in any way to achieve stability in Syria, of course taking into consideration the interest of the country, and the will of the Syrian people.
Bashar al-Assad
Israel does not care about the international public opinion.
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
Many people, they flee not the war itself, but the consequences of the war, because they want to live, they want to have the basic needs for their livelihood, they don't have it. They have to flee these circumstances, not necessarily the security situation itself. So, you have different reasons for the people or the refugees to leave Syria.

Hizbullah is not a militia.

[American's government] thinking they are the judge of the world they're not.

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
We have to be there to get the evidence like what happened in Aleppo when we had evidence. And because the United States didn't send the team, we sent the evidence to the Russians.
Bashar al-Assad
Let's talk... we have indications, let me just finish this point, because how can use WMD while your troops are only 100 meters away from it ? Is it logical ? It doesn't happen. It cannot be used like this.
Bashar al-Assad
Freedom and democracy are nothing but instruments, just like stability. The goal is called progress and growth. Anyone who puts freedom ahead of stability is hurting growth.
Bashar al-Assad
Peace in Syria is not only our priority it's a Middle Eastern priority, and when the Middle East is stable, the rest of the world is stable, because the Middle East is the heart of the world geographically and geopolitically, and Syria is the heart of the Middle East geographically and geopolitically.
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
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
[ Jihadists] are going to be against you sooner or later.
Bashar al-Assad
We have to wait and see when Donald J. Trump embarks his new mission, let's say, or position within this administration as President.
Bashar al-Assad
It's a dangerous thing when someone gets up in the morning and has nothing to eat.

Hezbollah fighters are on the borders with Lebanon where the terrorists attacked them. On the borders with Lebanon, this is where Hezbollah retaliated, and this is where we have cooperation, and that's good.
Bashar al-Assad
I will tell [Barack Obama] very simply : present what you have as evidence to the public, be transparent.
