We asked for a delegation [of the Red Cross] in March 2013 when the first attack happened in Aleppo in the north of Syria they delayed it till just a few days before al-Ghouta when they sent those team, and the team itself said in its report that he did everything as he wanted. There was not a single obstacle.

When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.

When you talk about humanitarian, it doesn't only mean to offer the people the help, the food, their necessary needs for their life. The first thing, if you ask the Syrian refugees, for example, the first thing they want is to go back to their country.

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.

We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.

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.

Any strike will be as direct support to Al-Qaeda offshoot that's called Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. You're right about this. It's going to be direct support.

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.

Whether you call it terrorism or resistance, and whether you like Hamas or not, it is a political entity that no one can ignore.

This is the Middle East, where every week you have something new so whatever you talk about this week will not be valuable next week.
