You cannot have democracy without the institutions. You cannot have a democracy that is built on the moods of self-interested people.

Bashar al-Assad

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
We are facing an external attack against us, which is more dangerous than any other previous wars… We are dealing with those who are extremists, who only know the language of killing and criminality.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Killing Language War
There is no good war.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Good War War
When you use an armament, you use it to defend the civilians. You kill terrorists in order to defend civilians. That’s the natural role of any army in the world.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Army Order Roles
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
Whatever the American officials said about the conflicts in Syria in general has no credibility. Whatever they say, it’s just lies and, let’s say, bubbles, has no foundation on the ground.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Conflict Foundation Lying
[Enemies of Syria] are the enemies of the people and the enemies of God. And the enemies of God will go to hell.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Enemy Hell People
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
My country and me, we are part of this region, we’re not separated. We cannot discuss it as Syria or as me ; it should be as part, as a whole, as comprehensive. That’s how we have to look at it.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Looks Should
The United States accused Syria, and because you accused you have to bring evidence [of chemical weapons], this first of all. We have to find evidences when we are there.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Firsts United States Weapons
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
In the United States, they always talk about subtitles, about chapters in a book without taking the main title of the book. They talk about a subtitle in a chapter and if you ask them about the headline, the main title, they say they do not know.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Book Titles United States
We have the precedent of Collin Powell ten years ago, when he showed the evidence, it was false, and it was forged.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Evidence Precedent Years
Everything else should be a piece of cake. Feel good, feel happy, feel healthy, feel loved, feel abundant, feel creative, feel compassionate, feel knowledgeable, feel powerful.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Acknowledge Everything Happy Powerful
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
We cannot use jihadists because it’s like shooting yourself in the foot.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD
