More quotes by Bashar al-Assad

Bashar al-Assad
This is reality. If [the American officials] want to believe, that's good, that will help them understand the region and be more successful in their policies.
Bashar al-Assad
[Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia] are here because they could offer very essential and important help, because the situation that we are facing now is not only about a few terrorists from within Syria it's like international war against Syria.
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
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
In reality, you cannot withstand for five years and more against all those countries, the West, and the Gulf states, the petrodollars, and all this propaganda, the strongest media corporations around the world, if you don't have the support of your own people. That's against the reality.

[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
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
You can't say the people of Aleppo because the majority of the people of Aleppo are living in the area under the control of the government, so you cannot talk about the people of Aleppo.
Bashar al-Assad
The place where the interests of all parties come together is the international community, along with its resolutions.
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
It is not my democracy as a person it is our democracy as a society.
Bashar al-Assad
We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.
Bashar al-Assad
From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.
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.
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
I would only give a prize to whoever works for the peace in Syria, first of all by stopping the terrorists from flowing towards Syria, only.
