Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stressed that he can turn hope to end the war on Syria to reality through two axes the first practical is the fight against terrorism and the second to make reconciliation with anyone who wants to lay down their arms and return to the bosom of the nation, adding that the two axes are witnessing progress .. whether the fight against terrorism or the axis reconciliations so I say that hope is greater today than hope in the past years.
President al-Assad said in an interview with the newspaper "I'm not Wesernge" Croatian that the majority of Syrians do not accept federalism because it is a prelude to division and there is no justification for the existence of federalism, which is the subject of an artificial goal to reach a similar situation to the case of Iraq.
President al-Assad stressed that all the intervention of any soldier, even if an individual without the permission of the Syrian government is invading every sense of the word glitter .. Any interference in the atmosphere or otherwise is also unlawful interference and aggression against Syria.
The following is the full text of the interview ...
The first question ..
Mr. President went on the Syrian war six years now .. Is after the recent victories achieved by the Syrian army in Aleppo, Palmyra and reconciliation that take place .. Is there a glimmer of hope to end the war in Syria ...
President al - Assad ..
of course , without this hope can not for the country and the people and the state can hold up to six years in a very fierce war , backed by dozens of Western and regional countries .. the most powerful countries and the richest countries in the world .. if there was no hope of what there were the will. . but how can you turn this hope into reality ... can be done through two axes practical until this moment .. .. The first is the fight against terrorism , regardless of labels and regardless of titles .. .. The second is to carry out reconciliations with anyone who wants to lay down their arms and return to normal life and return to the bosom of the nation .. These two axes are witnessing progress , both the fight against terrorism or the axis of reconciliation .. So I say that hope is greater today than hope in the past years.
.. The second question
in the negotiations that took place earlier in Alostana today in Geneva .. More negotiators from the other side belong to the opposition , which holds jihadist ideology Wahhabi Salafi .. Why do you negotiate with these people in the first class ... Is there actually moderate opposition as described in the media ...
President al - Assad ..
This is a very important question because it is on the lips of Western officials, led by former .. President Obama said that the moderate opposition is a fantasy or illusion .. this .. They are their own admission that the opposition supported the illusion of moderation , they gave non - real cover .. PE.YN this moderate opposition does not exist .. in opposition to jihadist deviant sense of jihad , of course .. ideological deviant also in the sense that do not accept a dialogue or a solution only way terrorism .. therefore in practice with this part of the opposition can not get to any real result .. Proof that during the Astana negotiations began an attack on the city of Damascus and Hama Om Other areas of Syria and returned the wheel of terrorism and the killing of innocents .. PE.YN can not these terrorists to be opposition nor can they help to reach a solution .. except that .. these terrorist groups themselves linked to agendas of foreign countries .. are not the groups belong to the stream of The Syrian people want political reform or wants a solution that .. either before the war or during the war .. and there are groups may seem politically not take up arms, but supports terrorists and is linked to another part Balojendh Saudi Arabia, Turkish and Western.
Third question ..
Why do you negotiate with them ...
President al - Assad ..
negotiate with them because many initially did not believe that these groups do not want to lay down their arms and go towards political action .. Thus we went to prove to all those who question the reality of this .. that these groups can not exercise political action because it .. terrorist groups in depth until the end.
The fourth question ..
the world declared war against terrorism .. Do you believe this announcement and what is happening today and whether we can say that the fight against terrorism is only Syria today ..
President al - Assad ..
the world who declared war against terrorism is practically the same Western countries that support terrorism .. Most of the world stand against terrorism .. She does not announce it, but practically cooperate with us in one way or another during the war and before the war .. because terrorism did not start only with the war on Syria .. it is in the world in one way or another .. of course , continuously increasing by the various wars in the Middle East .. but Western countries that declared war on terrorism is still at the moment they are not supported by .. .. and fighting against they say the title is just for internal consumption .. In fact, they use terrorism as a bargaining different political agendas Of even if this terrorism falls back on them and lead to the fall of the victims in their countries, but they do not recognize this fact. For those who fight against terrorism in Syria is essentially the Syrian Arab Army and this is not a claim .. there are facts on the ground confirms this thing .. Of course , the Syrian Arab Army was able to achieve these accomplishments in the face of terrorists .. first by the will of the existing Syrian fighter by .. popular support .. Without popular support can not achieve these victories .. but also there was a very strong support from allies either Iran or Russia .. .. or Hezbollah from Lebanon.
The fifth question ..
Syrian army represents all communities and ethnic minorities in Syria ...
President al - Assad ..
of course .. This can not be self - evident .. Army is part of the Syrian people to win the war on the Syrian arena .. This truism regardless of what portrayed in the West. Whether raised terms by terrorists at the beginning of the war or put forward by the anti-Syrian media in the West and in our region .. The aim was to portray the war as a war between the sects .. This picture was scattered in the West .. even if this is true to Tksmt Syria since the first months of the war .. and what has survived six years united as a people .. it is true that terrorists in control of some areas, but the areas under the control of the state includes all the spectra of the Syrian people .. and more importantly, where part of the families of terrorists .. and where most people who fled from areas controlled by terrorists to areas controlled by the state. If this was not the Syrian army .. .. and behind the government representing all the Syrian people , because it was possible to see this unified image of the Syrian people.
Sixth question ..
Mr. President .. must ask a question .. Is if there was a security cooperation between the Syrian government and European countries .. Are we avoided the terrorist attacks that affected France, Belgium and others .. I ask this question because after the terrorist attacks in Paris , said Director former French intelligence that you Zodtmohm documents and the names and documents for terrorists and they refused to receive it .. Do you really refused to receive it ... whether if there was cooperation we avoided these terrorist operations ...
President al - Assad ..
not .. He was probably talking about cooperation before the war .. because after the start of the war and after the pro-terrorists , the French position .. Syria stopped security cooperation with all those countries .. because there can not be security cooperation and political hostility. . there must be a political agreement and agreement in other areas, including security .. for the question of whether there can be protection for Europe through this security cooperation .. in normal circumstances yes .. but in the current circumstances do not .. because Europe .. or a number European countries are supporting terrorists widely .. They send to Syria , tens of thousands of terrorists or support them directly up Indirectly .. logistically .. weapons .. money .. political cover and everything .. When you reach this stage of support for terrorists .. and here we are talking about tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands in Syria and in neighboring areas .. becomes limited security cooperation effectiveness in such a situation .. security cooperation focuses on tens or hundreds of people .. but can not give effect when there are tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of terrorists .. If Europe wants to protect itself at this stage .. it must first stop support for terrorists in Syria. Even if we want to cooperate with them , presumably security in such circumstances .. can not be achieved any results .. and of course we will not do so .. when they support the terrorists .. they have to stop directly supporting terrorists in any form of support.
The seventh question ..
Mr. President .. I want to return to Croatia .. little in 20099 you have visited the Croatian capital of Zagreb and with Croat officials come together .. At that time I read a statement to you in which you said that Croatia 's friendly country and the Croatian people 's brother and the people .. etc .. Do you still consider that the Croatian people a friend of the people of Syria, especially after what happened on the arms scandal , which went to Washington from Croatia .. and then to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and arrived in the hands of the terrorists ...
President Assad ..
certainly .. the Croatian people is the friendly people and relations between us back for decades .. we are talking about generations old relationship is still going on .. and .. do not hold the Croatian people the responsibility of the governments of the mistakes .. Most importantly today if we tried to monitor public opinion in Croatia towards what is happening in Syria and compare it to other European countries we see that during the war in general .. this public opinion was closer to understanding what is happening in Syria , compared to many other European peoples .. if it were not this relationship and genuine friendship was difficult for the Croatian people to understand what is happening in Syria. So I want to emphasize that the arms deal that reached the terrorists were from the achievements of the previous government in Croatia may have financial interests .. perhaps political interests by submitting to pressure other major Western countries. But in all cases they have sold the interests and principles of the Croatian people for the petro - dollar money .. or in order to narrow political interests of those officials.
Question VIII ..
Is there a possibility for the return of political and diplomatic relations, especially economic .. Falakrwatia many interests in Syria ...
President al - Assad ..
of course .. certainly this is possible .. but this is linked to the political orientations of governments in .. If there were political mistakes committed by the governments of left .. It is very easy for the next governments or that are now in power that the reform of the policies .. We do not ask these governments only to think about first the interests of its people .. Second , international law , which begins the sovereignty of other states and non - interference in the internal affairs of those countries .. We have not done a day of days throughout our history since emerged the relationship between us and Croatia currently Yugoslavia previously any act of hostility toward these countries .. always consider r Aiqa .. What is the justification so that the Government of governments to send weapons to terrorists in Syria to carry out the killing of innocent Syria this weapon. I do not think that there is justification .. .. I think or hope that the current government does not accept this thing.
Ninth question ..
A large number of jihadists or terrorists who came to Syria from the Balkans .. Do you have information about their numbers ...
President al - Assad ..
not accurate information .. because the presence of the Turkish neighbor led the criminal .. Erdogan , who creates all the conditions to support and install those terrorists in Syria .. does not allow control of the border and thus does not allow the existence of accurate statistics for the number of terrorists who walk in and out. But the issue is not related to nationalities .. You know that terrorists perceive the world as an arena Square one .. do not care about nationalities .. do not care about political borders .. it is not necessarily a threat to your country or to Europe in general is the only of the Europeans. Is true that the European most dangerous because he knows that area in detail .. but it will come with him and terrorists from other countries .. they share the same faith and the same aspirations and the same ideas .. to carry out terrorist acts. When we talk about the number of terrorists in Syria .. We certainly are talking about hundreds of thousands .. I mean beyond a minimum hundred thousand. Of course , go and come and kill them by battles .. but this is the approximate appreciation of numbers.
Tenth question ..
Mr. President .. European or global street asks why this attack on Syria and why this quest for you to drop. Everyone is talking about the reform that you brought .. Why do you think ...
President al - Assad ..
The reason is old and simple and clear .. It is that these Western countries, led by the United States .. and of course with Britain and France as key partners .. regrettably some European countries that did not have a colonial history do not accept independent states .. do not accept the relationship Nadia. They want to live followers .. implementers of their policies .. Of course , we are not against the common interests with countries .. any country. Major countries have interests around the world .. We as a state we have interests in our region .. We are not a superpower .. but when we work through with the interests of those countries must be shared interests. They want us to work for their interests against our interests .. Therefore , we have always been the situation of conflict with these countries about our interests. For example , we want the peace process .. but they want to surrender and not peace .. they want us to have peace without rights .. This is not reasonable. They want us to give up our sovereignty .. they want us to give up our rights acknowledged by international law and the resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations and vote several times on the return of land. These examples are just examples .. .. There are a lot of similar things because of them consider that Syria is too independent state. So they saw that the war and the replacement of the current government a government of them makes things easier and better for their interests narrow.
Question atheist ten ..
if you accept peace or surrender , as you say .. Was it happened to Syria what is happening today ...
President al - Assad ..
I'll give you an example in order to talk about something realistic .. it was required of us to stand with the West .. and specifically the United States in 2003 in its war against Iraq , for example .. We we know that the Iraq war was a series of events aimed at a group division area .. and we fully know that the conferences held in order to determine the future of Iraq after the war , " of course , these conferences were held before the war" were all talking about the future of Iraq .. Iraq sectarian .. not united Iraq .. we used to know that what is happening in Iraq it will move to Syria .. and will move to each region. If we say .. and .. if we have contributed to them at that time such a project was the situation in Syria today is much worse than if we refused. So I would say that the price of rejection or the price of resistance is much less than the price of submission and surrender .. I said this talk several times earlier and events in Syria came to prove this statement .. what Syria has helped to withstand the day they united .. If we drove a sectarian project on the way Iraqi or Lebanese as the Americans wanted at that time we were really today a country where a civil war and not just .. the term was in fact a civil war.
The second question ten ..
Why pay money Gulf states and supports terrorists to overthrow the government in Syria ...
President al - Assad ..
Most of the Gulf states are dependent countries do not dare to say no .. Some of them tell us we are with you, but we can not express it .. We wish you victory in your war and keep Syria united and defeat the terrorists .. but publicly say something different because it is subject to Western will .. not to say all the Gulf countries .. most of the Gulf countries are countries formed by the British at the stage and handed over to the Americans at a later stage .. so we can not evaluate why they say something .. or why they say the opposite thing .
Question XIII ..
talk about the establishment of federalism in Syria Is this possible ... Do you accept the establishment of federalism in Syria ...
President al - Assad ..
federalism and the subject of a national .. or if he will not get .. is linked to the constitution and the constitution .. need my people to vote .. so we as a government can not say .. accept or do not accept .. government and executive authority reflect the will of the people .. but I can give you a general impression in Syria that the majority of Syrians do not accept federalism because it is a prelude to the division .. no justification for the existence of federalism .. the Syrians are living with each other for decades and centuries .. even before the presence of the Syrian state were living in this same structure even during the state before the Ottoman Ottoman Empire without any problems .. no historical wars between the components of the Syrian divisions in order to say that he can not these sects or religions or nationalities to live with each other. PE.YN federalism is fabricated subject objective of access to the case is similar to the case of Iraq .. where the use of this part or that part against the state , which is supposed to be a strong state .. and thus have a weak state .. weak government .. and weak people .. homeland weak .
Question XIV ..
Turkey sent troops and military presence in Syria .. Why do you think ...
President al - Assad ..
The reason is that Erdogan has put all its hopes on victories by terrorists to come to the battle of Aleppo and was his battle playoffs by virtue of the importance of political and economic as well as geographical and logistical Aleppo .. However , the terrorists failed to maintain their positions in the city of Aleppo " by the popular rejection of the people of the city and the province .. and by the Syrian army 's achievements "push Erdogan to do direct intervention .. at least to keep his place on the political table when talking about the future of Syria .. this is why .. and at the same time to replace the form of terrorists from victory and al - Qaeda" after being unveiled in a level To the world that he closely to them in every sense of the word meanings , "where they changed denominated other titles .. and they shaved their beards to show the appearance of moderate as things were at the beginning of the crisis .. It remains to Turkey" as I said , " a role in the solution to Syria through the terrorists new Epeshklhm.
Question XV ..
Similarly American forces entered and help the Kurds today .. Do you consider the occupation forces ...
President al - Assad ..
of course .. all the intervention of any soldier , even if an individual .. people .. without Syrian government permission is invading every sense of the word glitter .. Any interference in the atmosphere or otherwise is also unlawful interference .. and an assault on Syrian.
Question XVI ..
why America entered .. What reasons do you think , Mr. President ...
President al - Assad ..
In general the American policy based on creating havoc in different parts of the world .. and conflicts between nations and fascinate for decades .. This is not a new thing .. but it is repeated in different forms .. Through these tribulations .. no foothold "through the contradictions and through clients they are mainly .. but they were able to emerge because of the new circumstances" and interference in the bargaining achieve its interests in that region .. this is an old US policy.
Question XVII ..
How do you see the election of the president of America Trump Could Taataaonowa with him .. especially since the recent statements of the new US administration considered that the Syrian people is to decide the fate of the president .. Is there a change in American politics ... do you think
President al - Assad ..
First for different statements about the presence of the president or the lack of it .. since the first statement , Obama days, which echoed the political Albbghaeat in Europe after that .. not given any attention and did not attach it because it does not concern us .. this topic Syrian and linked to the Syrian people. . so all that has been said on this subject is placed in the trash simply .. and therefore any statement similar .. or against .. currently do not accept it by any country .. because it is not an American affair nor European nor would anyone other than a Syrian in this world. As for our assessment of the current US administration .. Although it is still in its infancy .. but we have learned something important since restored relations between Syria and the United States in 1974 when Richard Nixon visited us .. the former US president learned not to bet on good management .. we always say from the bad and the worst .. but do not say it 's good or it is better than bad and good. So far what we see in America is a never - ending conflicts .. conflicts within the administration and outside the administration struggles with management .. so do not see only single thing of this administration .. Regardless of the statements that look better than statements of other departments .. It is as long as he sent troops to Syria without coordination and without the request of the Syrian government 's legitimacy .. it means that this administration .. like other departments .. do not want to return stability to Syria.
Question XVIII ..
Mr. President .. recently .. Syria is under Israeli aggression permanently. What is the purpose ... do you fear the outbreak of the Syrian / Israeli war ...
President al - Assad ..
Fear of war is the word far from reality .. because the reality is that we live this war .. But to call Syria / Israeli conditions .. .. Fbkl can assume that these terrorists are fighters for the benefit of "Israel" .. The they were not an army Israeli systematic understanding of the fighters for the benefit of "Israel" .. and "Israel" share with Turkey goals and share with the United States, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries the same goal also .. is a war broke out , but in a new and new tools. In practice .. Our victory is a victory for the terrorists , all those combined states .. Therefore , "Israel" strives to support these terrorists in every place where the Syrian army advanced .. they attack one way or another in order to give them support .. In order to stop the momentum of the Arab army Syrian in their faces.
Question XIX ..
recently .. Many European parliamentarians began Balthavt on Syria .. Some of them openly , and some of them privately. Does this mean that something happened .. or a change in European policy toward Syria .. Do you understand that you are right ...
President al - Assad ..
European policy has not actually changed because European officials have gone too far Bokavebhm .. And today if they wanted to do the process of wrapping .. European public opinion will say to them .. You were used to deny us. This talk was not true and all what you said was not true .. so they went towards more insist on their lies, but with some modifications from time to time .. re - product production, but an external encapsulates the different in order to deceive the customer who is the European public opinion.
As for the Western public opinion is the one who changed .. First .. because of the lies that can not continue for a period of six years .. The facts go off .. this first. Second .. because by virtue of the existence of social media .. it is difficult for major media-related political machined in the West to control the entrances and exits of information and data across the world .. Third .. due to the large migrations that took place towards Europe and by the terrorist acts that struck a number European countries, especially France .. was to be for these different events to pay the Western citizen to question about the reality of what is happening. Today, what has changed in Europe is that public opinion has become quite known that the major media and politicians are lying on it. But now he did not know exactly the truth .. knows part of the truth which is in the case of search for the truth of what is happening in Syria .. and what happened in Libya .. what is happening in Yemen today .. to the nature of the relationship between officials in its countries and petrodollar located we have in the Gulf States .. and other questions.
Question XX ..
Shortly before you said that in the year 20177 will be the end of the war in Syria .. Do you still think that the war in Syria will end this year ...
President al - Assad ..
not .. I did not say these words as stated literally I said several times that without Western intervention , we can end this war and all its ramifications within a few months , that in less than a year .. This talk was in 2016 and explained that the war in and that ends next year will be the end of the war. Of course things are going towards a better , as I said .. not in the interests of the terrorists, but in the interests of the Syrian people. But the war can not expect .. especially to countries that have supported the terrorists desperate to keep them .. First , because the fall of the terrorists mean the fall of those countries political officials in their countries .. Second .. Because the depletion of Syria is one of the main tasks they sought from during the terrorists and the war .. thus , even if managed to Syria out of the war .. they want to be the minimum price is attrition and exhaustion in order to devote Syria only for living .. and building .. and forget all the other surrounding issues of rights and duties towards countries different in our region. In other words , Syria is to be able to play any effective role and valuable and significantly in the region.
Journalist ..
Are you confident of victory or the victory of Russia 's Syrian - Iranian alliance ...
President al - Assad ..
As I said a little while ago that we have a great hope for a growing .. and this hope is linked to trust and not trust what there was hope. In all cases we have no choice but to win .. if we win this war , it means that Syria wiped off the map. No other choice in the face of this war .. so we are confident and we are continuing and we are determined.
