More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
The problem with the West is that they start with political reform going towards democracy.
Bashar al-Assad
Let's be realistic, every terrorist came to Syria, he came through Turkey with the support of [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan. So, fighting those terrorists is like fighting the army of Erdogan, not the Turkish army, the army of Erdogan.
Bashar al-Assad
It's a dangerous thing when someone gets up in the morning and has nothing to eat.

Lebanon was under Israeli occupation, up to its capital, but we did not consider that a disaster. Why? Because it was very clear that there are ways to resist.
Bashar al-Assad
We feel pain for every Syrian victim.

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.

Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.

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
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
History teaches us that nobody can prevent a resistance group from arming when it has the support of the people.
Bashar al-Assad
When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.
Bashar al-Assad
Armies are not only for offensives.
Bashar al-Assad
As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed.
Bashar al-Assad
[The Jews] tried to kill the principles of all religions with the same mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they tried to betray and kill the Prophet Muhammad.
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
When you have terrorists, you don't throw at them balloons or you don't use rubber sticks, for example. You have to use armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.
Bashar al-Assad
The army is making good advancement on daily basis against the terrorists. Of course, they still have the support of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and some Western countries including the United States, but the only option that we have in that regard is to win.
