More quotes by 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.
Bashar al-Assad
I would say I need two things: the first one is to be objective in every statement he could make regarding any conflict around the world, including Syria. The second one is not to turn Secretary-General office into a part or branch of the State Department of the United States.
Bashar al-Assad
Of course, when Secretary-General is objective, he can play an important role in dealing with different officials in the United Nations in order to bring the policies of the different states - mainly Russia and the United States - toward more cooperation and more stability regarding Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.
Bashar al-Assad
When you talk about cooperation, it means cooperation between two legal governments, not cooperation between foreign government and any faction within Syria.
Bashar al-Assad
Tayyip Erdoğan is megalomaniac President, he is not stable. He lives during the Ottoman era, he doesn't live in the current time. He's out of touch with the reality.
Bashar al-Assad
People do not only live on interests they also live on beliefs, especially in very ideological areas. Unless you understand the ideological aspect of the region, you cannot understand what is happening.
Bashar al-Assad
There is no such things as Islamic terrorism, because terrorism differs from Islam. There's just terrorism, not Islamic terrorism. But the term Islamic terrorism has become widespread.
Bashar al-Assad
When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.
Bashar al-Assad
Winning is a subjective word, but we are making advancement. This is the correct word, because winning for some people is when you finish completely.
Bashar al-Assad
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
Bashar al-Assad
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
Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that don't deal with terrorists as playing games. It's a different story. You're going to pay the price if you're not wise in dealing with terrorists.
Bashar al-Assad
Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement.
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
The Russians always base their policies on values, and these values are the sovereignty of other countries, the international law, respecting other people, other cultures, so they don't interfere in whatever is related to the future of Syria or the Syrian people.
Bashar al-Assad
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
It is not my democracy as a person it is our democracy as a society.
Bashar al-Assad
We never said that the majority [of the terrorists] are not Syrians, but we said that the minority is what they call free Syrian army. That's what we said.
Bashar al-Assad
If the rebels or the terrorists in this region or any other group have [chemical warfare], this could happen, I don't know. I'm not a fortuneteller to tell you what's going to happen.
