Regarding 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.

We have the precedent of Collin Powell ten years ago, when he showed the evidence, it was false, and it was forged.

Evidence Precedent Years
You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

East Government Middle Player
[It is important] to have stability and to have security, which means humanitarian equals fighting terrorists. You cannot talk about humanitarian aid and supporting the terrorists at the same time. You cannot, you have to choose.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting Important Mean
In the eighties, we asked for international coalition against terrorism after the Muslim Brotherhood crisis in Syria when they started killing, of course they were defeated at that time. We asked for the same thing. So, this is a long-term policy that we base our policy on for years now.

Brotherhood Long Years
Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that “don’t deal with terrorists as playing games.” It’s a different story. You’re going to pay the price if you’re not wise in dealing with terrorists.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Games Pay Playing Price Wise
The Israeli lobby has clout in the U.S., which means that re-arranging the region and controlling its resources one way or another, will serve Israel through its control over the American administration.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Another Country Mean Resources
Opposition doesn’t mean to take arms and kill people and destroy everything.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Arms Mean People
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

Country Face Help War
The question is who threw chemicals on the same day on our soldiers. That’s the same question. Technically, not the soldiers. Soldiers don’t throw missiles on themselves. So, either the rebels, the terrorists, or a third party. We don’t have any clue yet.

Party Rebel Soldier
Worry does not mean fear, but readiness for the confrontation.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Confrontation Mean Worry
Any cooperation that doesn’t go through the Syrian government is not legal. If it’s not legal, we cannot cooperate with, and we don’t recognize and we don’t accept.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Accept Cooperation Government
The only one who can fight for these values like democracy and freedoms are the people of any country or any society, not the foreigners.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Fighting People
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
If you want to talk about mistakes, every country has mistakes, every government has mistakes, every person has mistakes. When you have a war, you have more mistakes. That’s the natural thing.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Mistake War
No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Able Country Doubt
I cannot afford to make mistakes.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Afford Making Mistake
