You cannot be desperate when the army is making advances. That should have happened - if we take into consideration that this presumption is correct and this is reality - you use it when you're in a desperate situation.

More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
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.
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
The other thing we did as government is to open gates for the civilians to leave that [ eastern part] area [in Aleppo], and at the same time for the humanitarian convoys and help to go through those gates inside that part of Aleppo, but the terrorists publicly refused any solution, so they wanted to keep the situation as it is.
Bashar al-Assad
We always say we have wishful thinking that the Unites States would be unbiased, respect the international law, doesn't interfere in other countries around the world, and of course to stop supporting terrorists in Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
Armies are not only for offensives.
Bashar al-Assad
Israel has WMD, and it has to sign [chemical warfare agreement], and Israel is occupying our land, so that's we talked about the Middle East, not Syria, not Israel it should be comprehensive.
Bashar al-Assad
At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.
Bashar al-Assad
[Chemical weapons] isn't about what the United States believe in, it's about the reality that we have, and this reality, we own it, we don't have to discuss 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
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.
Bashar al-Assad
We're not sure that if there's chemical weapon used and who used it. We can't talk about virtual things, we have to talk about facts.
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
If you want to be transparent with your people, do not do anything cosmetic, whether to deceive your people or to get some applaud from the West.
Bashar al-Assad
That the rebels or the terrorists used the chemical weapons in northern Aleppo five months ago [in 2013].
Bashar al-Assad
Talking about winning and losing is like if you're talking about two armies fighting on two territories, which is not the case. Those [terrorists] are gangs, coming from abroad, infiltrate inhabited areas, kill the people, take their houses, and shoot at the army. The army cannot do the same, and the army doesn't exist everywhere.
Bashar al-Assad
Whenever you have a war, the civilians and the innocents will pay the price. That's in any war, any war is a bad war.
Bashar al-Assad
From Russia for example, we have political support, which is different from the cooperation. We have cooperation for 60 years now, but now we have political support.
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
First of all, when you have a doctor who cut the leg to prevent the patient from the gangrene if you have to, we don't call butcher you call him a doctor, and thank you for saving the lives.
Bashar al-Assad
Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.
Bashar al-Assad
