Why should you use a term [rebels] in the United States and England and maybe other countries and use another term in Syria ? This is a double standard that we don’t accept.

Country Rebel United States
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

Country Support Years
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

Country Government Issues
Think of the war against terrorism. In my view, Washington’s approach can be compared to a doctor constantly banging away at a tumor instead of removing it surgically.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Doctors Thinking War
When you talk about cooperation, it means cooperation between two legal governments, not cooperation between foreign government and any faction within Syria.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Nobody knows [who they are] because when [terrorists] are dead and they are killed, they don’t have any ID.

First of all, when you have a doctor who cut the leg to prevent the patient from the gangrene if you have to, we don’t call butcher ; you call him a doctor, and thank you for saving the lives.

The majority of fighters now are Al-Qaeda. If you want to support them, you are supporting Al-Qaeda, you are creating havoc in the region, and if this region is not stable, the whole world cannot be stable.

That the rebels or the terrorists used the chemical weapons in northern Aleppo five months ago [in 2013].

The external support can never substitute internal support, the example that we have to look at very well is Egypt and Tunisia ; they have all the support from the West and from the Gulf and from most of the countries of the world.

Iran doesn’t have any soldier in Syria, so how could Iran help me ?
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Helping Soldier
When you have terrorists, you don’t throw at them balloons or you don’t use rubber sticks, for example. You have to use armaments.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Occupation People Problem
As we see now the American officials, they say something in the morning and they do the opposite in the evening. So, you cannot judge those people according to what they say. You cannot take them at their words, to be frank.
