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

Bashar al-Assad

If it’s not a national army, it cannot have the support, and if it doesn’t have the public support of every sect, it cannot do its job and advance recently. It cannot. The army of the family doesn’t make national war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Advance Army Family National Support
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.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Law Other Respect Value
We cannot use jihadists because it’s like shooting yourself in the foot.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Feet Shooting Use
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
It should be known that Israel is based on treachery.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Based Country Should Treachery
We’ve been living in difficult circumstances and we prepare ourselves for every possibility. But that doesn’t mean if you’re prepared things will be better ; it’s going to get worse with any foolish strike or stupid war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Mean Stupid War
You can forge anything these days, and we’re living in a fake news era.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Eras Fake News
I don’t believe the United States will be ready to join Russia in fighting terrorists in Syria.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Believe Country Fighting Join
Did the President order anyone to kill civilians, did he order the destruction, did he order supporting terrorism in his country? Of course not.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Order President
We’ve been dealing with this kind of terrorism since the fifties, since the Muslim Brotherhood came to Syria at that time.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Brotherhood Kind Terrorism
We don’t have a lot of expectations [for Donald J. Trump] because the American administration is not only about the President; it’s about different powers within this administration, the different lobbies that they are going to influence any President.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Administration Expectations President
Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

East Geographical Middle Political
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
We’re talking about the responsibility, my responsibility according to the Syrian constitution that said we have to defend ourselves.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Constitution Responsibility Talking
There’s a video about one of those women who they consider as rebel or fighter who worked with those terrorists and she said “they didn’t tell us how to use the chemical weapons” and one of those weapons exploded in one of the tunnels and killed twelve. That’s what she said.

Rebel Tunnels Twelve
The Russians are fighting for us, for the world, and for their self.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Fighting Self World
Your policy should be a mixture between your interests and how you reach your ends, but based on values. It cannot be only the end justifies the means, because for the criminals, ends justify the means, for thieves, for every illegal and immoral action, the end justifies the means.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Criminal Mean Thieves
Let’s talk… we have indications, let me just finish this point, because how can use WMD while your troops are only 100 meters away from it ? Is it logical ? It doesn’t happen. It cannot be used like this.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Indication Point Troops Use
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
We never said that the majority [of the terrorists] are not Syrians, but we said that the minority is what they call “free Syrian army.” That’s what we said.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

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.

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

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.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Creating Majority Support
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
Since the beginning of the crisis, since the terrorists started to control some areas within Syria, the majority of the Syrian civilians left that areas to join the government areas, not vice versa. If the majority of the Syrians don’t trust the government, they should go the other way.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Government Majority Vices
Since its very inception, Israel has been a threat.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD
