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

The hope for an American is different from the hope of a Syrian. For me, I should be the hope of the Syrian, not any other one, not American, neither French, nor anyone in the world. I’m President to help the Syrian people.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Different People President
This war [in Syria] is going to support Al-Qaeda and the same people that killed Americans in the 11th of September.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

People Support War
At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

End Killing Massacring
Why should you use a term [rebels] in the United States and England and maybe other countries and use another term in Syria ? This is a double standard that we don’t accept.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Rebel United States
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
Since its very inception, Israel has been a threat.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Country Inception Threat
The problem with the West is that they start with political reform going towards democracy.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Democracy Political Reform
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
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
[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
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
Any American strike will not destroy as much as the terrorists have already destroyed in Syria ; sometimes the repercussions could be many doubles the strike itself.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Sometimes Strikes Terrorist
If the rebels or the terrorists in this region or any other group have [chemical warfare], this could happen, I don’t know. I’m not a fortuneteller to tell you what’s going to happen.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Groups Rebel Warfare
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
Freedom and democracy are nothing but instruments, just like stability. The goal is called progress and growth. Anyone who puts freedom ahead of stability is hurting growth.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD

Goal Growth Hurt
When you talk about Al-Qaeda it doesn’t matter if he’s Syrian or American or from Europe or from Asia or Africa.
