We don’t discuss this issue [conversations with Russia] as a government, but we discuss the repercussions, which is more important because sometimes repercussions could be more destroying than the strike itself.

Bashar al-Assad

Whatever the American officials said about the conflicts in Syria in general has no credibility. Whatever they say, it’s just lies and, let’s say, bubbles, has no foundation on the ground.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Conflict Foundation Lying
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

Illusion Palaces Vision
I don’t want to talk about methods of killing. But what is the difference between a bomb worn on the body and one dropped from an airplane? Both of them kill people.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Airplane Differences People
You said treaties, and a Russian official said ; we have not agreement… contracts, that we have to fulfill, and those contracts are like any country ; you buy armaments, you buy anything you want.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Agreement Country
I think sadness prevails in Syria now. We don’t feel anything else but sadness because we have this killing every day, whether with chemical or any other kind.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Kind Sadness Thinking
The armament of the government is legal armament. Any other armament is not legal.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Armament Government Legal
We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Establishment Threat
We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Mass Destruction Nuclear
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.

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

Believe Reality Successful
When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Interest Mold Wanted
Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Different Movement Political
This war [in Syria] is going to support Al-Qaeda and the same people that killed Americans in the 11th of September.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

People Support War
The American officials should learn to deal with reality. Why did the United States fail in most of its wars ? Because it always based its wars on the wrong information. So, whether they believe or not, this is not reality.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Believe Reality War
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.

Look at the results of regime change in Iraq. You can’t possibly claim that it was successful.
