Any external support, if you want to call it support, let’s use this world, is… how to say… it’s going to be additional, but it’s not the base to depend on more than the Syrian support.

BASHAR AL-ASSADAnd let’s say in brief they live the Taliban style in Afghanistan, completely the same style.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThat the rebels or the terrorists used the chemical weapons in northern Aleppo five months ago [in 2013].
BASHAR AL-ASSADWhen you talk about Al-Qaeda it doesn’t matter if he’s Syrian or American or from Europe or from Asia or Africa.
BASHAR AL-ASSADHistory teaches us that nobody can prevent a resistance group from arming when it has the support of the people.
BASHAR AL-ASSADSince its very inception, Israel has been a threat.
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-ASSADIsraeli interests are not necessarily in harmony with the American interests.
BASHAR AL-ASSADI cannot afford to make mistakes.
BASHAR AL-ASSADIt is difficult for anyone to tell you what is going to happen. [Middle East] is an area where everything is on the brink of explosion.

BASHAR AL-ASSADFighting 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-ASSADActually, he gave false evidence [of chemical weapons]. In this case,[John] Kerry didn’t even present any evidence. He talked “we have evidence” and he didn’t present anything. Not yet, nothing so far ; not a single shred of evidence.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThis is cooperation [with Hezbollah, Iran , from Russia], I don’t know what you mean by support. We have cooperation with countries for decades. Why talk about this cooperation now ?
BASHAR AL-ASSADRegarding fighting terrorism, we are ready to cooperate with anyone in this world with no conditions. That’s crux of our policy, not today, not yesterday; for years, even before the war on Syria, we always said that.
BASHAR AL-ASSADWe are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.
