It’s not exactly fair to make a mistake yourself and then start blaming others for it.

Bashar al-Assad

We’re talking about one region, bigger regions, not only about Syria. This interlinked region, this intermingled, interlocked, whatever you want to call it ; if you strike somewhere, you have to expect the repercussions somewhere else in different forms in ways you don’t expect.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Different Else Somewhere Talking
We didn’t say that 80% [of terrorists], for example, or the majority or the vast majority, are foreigners. We said the vast majority are Al-Qaeda or Al-Qaeda offshoot organizations in this region.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Example Majority Organization
The fact that there are people who criticize me doesn’t mean that people hate me.

Many people do not understand the difference between peace and a peace treaty. If you want to have real peace with normal relations between people, you need to have comprehensive peace.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Differences People Real
Russia is very important, Iran is very important, Hezbollah is very important. All of them are important. Each one made important achievements against the terrorists in Syria, so it’s difficult to say who is more important than the other.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Achievement Country Hope Important
There’s a video on YouTube where the terrorists clearly make trials [of chemical weapons] on a rabbit and kill the rabbit and said “this is how we’re going to kill the Syrian people.”

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
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.

Country Support Years
Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

When 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-ASSAD

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
As a state, as a government, in 2001 we proposed to the United Nations to empty or to get rid of every WMD in the Middle East, and the United States stood against that proposal. This is our conviction and policy.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

You want me to believe American evidence and don’t want me to believe the indications that we have. We live here, this is our reality.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Believe Evidence Reality
We are fully free, not partially, fully free, in everything related to the future of Syria.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

The Russians always base their policies on values, and these values are the sovereignty of other countries, the international law, respecting other people, other cultures, so they don’t interfere in whatever is related to the future of Syria or the Syrian people.
