More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
Fighting the terrorists in Syria is not only in the interest of Syria or the Syrian people in the interest of the Middle East, of Europe itself - something that many officials in the West don't see or don't realize or don't acknowledge - and in the interest of the Russian people, because they have been facing terrorists for decades now.

Why should you use a term [rebels] in the United States and England and maybe other countries and use another term in Syria ? This is a double standard that we don't accept.
Bashar al-Assad
When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.
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
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
It's not exactly fair to make a mistake yourself and then start blaming others for it.
Bashar al-Assad
We don't say that we don't have it, we're still secular in Syria, but with the time, this secularism will be eroded.
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
The criteria or the paradigm for us is not the West, not the Western paradigm, because the West has its own culture, we have our own culture, they have their own reality, we have our own reality.
Bashar al-Assad
I think the most important part of this now is, let's say the American people, but the polls show that the majority now don't want a war, anywhere, not only against Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed.
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
We can have national dialogue where different Syrian parties sit and discuss the future of Syria. You can have interim government or transitional government. Then you have final elections, parliamentary elections, and you're going to have presidential elections.
