From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Decision President
We are facing an external attack against us, which is more dangerous than any other previous wars… We are dealing with those who are extremists, who only know the language of killing and criminality.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Killing Language War
With the time, yes we can be worried, because the secular state should reflect secular society, and this secular society, with the time, if you don’t get rid of those terrorists and these extremists and the Wahabi style, of course it will influence at least the new and the coming generations.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Secular Society Style Time Worry Yes
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

BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Army Desperate Reality Situations

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.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting People Something Terrorist
Almost all countries have natural dividing lines, and when ethnic and religious partition occurs in one country, it’ll soon happen elsewhere.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Lines Religious
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

Country Law Thinking
Al-Qaeda has one ideology and they go back to the same leadership in Afghanistan or in Syria or in Iraq. That’s the question. You have tens of thousands of foreigners, that’s definitely correct. We are fighting them on the ground and we know this.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting Leadership Question Same
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

Army Majority Minorities
No government in the world kills its people, unless it’s led by a crazy person.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Crazy Government People
We’ve been living in difficult circumstances and we prepare ourselves for every possibility. But that doesn’t mean if you’re prepared things will be better ; it’s going to get worse with any foolish strike or stupid war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Mean Stupid War
As soon as the legitimate Lebanese government is convinced that the conditions have ripened and that Lebanon is able to maintain stability on its own… Then, the Syrian forces will return to their homeland.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Government Lebanon
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

Brotherhood Kind Terrorism
It’s not exactly fair to make a mistake yourself and then start blaming others for it.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Blame Mistake Others
