BASHAR AL-ASSADRevolution should be Syrian, cannot be revolution imported from abroad.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThe problem with the West is that they start with political reform going towards democracy.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThose who arrived on America’s tanks are not credible in Iraq.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThe captain doesn’t think about death, or life, he thinks about saving his ship.
BASHAR AL-ASSADAny strike will be as direct support to Al-Qaeda offshoot that’s called Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. You’re right about this. It’s going to be direct support.
BASHAR AL-ASSADWhen you’re in the middle of a storm, leaving your country just because you have to leave without any reasonable reason, it means you’re quitting your country and this is treason.
BASHAR AL-ASSADAny external support, if you want to call it support, let’s use this world, is… how to say… it’s going to be additional, but it’s not the base to depend on more than the Syrian support.
BASHAR AL-ASSADRussia 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-ASSADI think sadness prevails in Syria now. We don’t feel anything else but sadness because we have this killing every day, whether with chemical or any other kind.
BASHAR AL-ASSADI think the Congress is elected by people, it represents the people, and works for their interest. The first question that they should ask themselves : what do wars give America, since Vietnam till now ? Nothing. No political gain, no economic gain, no good reputation.
BASHAR AL-ASSADWhen you have terrorism, you have a war. When you have a war, you always have innocent lives that could be the victim of any war, so, we don’t have to discuss what the image in the west before discussing the image in Syria. That’s the question.

BASHAR AL-ASSADThere can be no peace without unity.
BASHAR AL-ASSADThe 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-ASSADWhen people interact and integrate with each other on daily basis in every detail. So, I think in this regard I am more assured that Syria will be more unified. So, the only problem now that we face is not the partition, but terrorism.
BASHAR AL-ASSADRegarding 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.
