More quotes by Bashar al-Assad
Terrorists have been supported by tens of foreign countries, so Syria alone wouldn't be able to face this kind of war without the help of its friends.
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
Did the President order anyone to kill civilians, did he order the destruction, did he order supporting terrorism in his country? Of course not.
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
I wouldn't tell the President [Barack Obama] or any other official, because we are disappointed by their behavior recently, because we expected this administration to be different from Bush's administration. They are adopting the same doctrine with different accessories.
Bashar al-Assad
Revolution should be Syrian, cannot be revolution imported from abroad.
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
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
Peace in Syria is not only our priority it's a Middle Eastern priority, and when the Middle East is stable, the rest of the world is stable, because the Middle East is the heart of the world geographically and geopolitically, and Syria is the heart of the Middle East geographically and geopolitically.
Bashar al-Assad
Hizbullah is not a militia.
Bashar al-Assad
The United States' credibility is at an all-time low. So, this war is against the interest of the Untied States.
Bashar al-Assad
Circumstances don't matter, only my state of being matters. What state of being are you choosing?
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
[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
We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
Bashar al-Assad
I said we don't pin a lot of hopes of changing administrations [in U.S.] because that context has been going on for more than fifty years now, and that's expected. If they want to continue in the same position of the United States creating problems around the world, that's what they have to do: only interfering in the matters of other nations.
Bashar al-Assad
I've never heard of soft war.There's no soft war. War is war. Any war is ruthless. When you fight terrorists, you fight them like any other war.
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
You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.
Bashar al-Assad
Whether [Turkey] is a NATO country or not, it doesn't have the right to invade any other country according to the international law or to any other moral value.
