Everybody knows that the United Nations is not the Secretary-General; he has an important position, but the United Nations is the states within this organization, and to be frank, most of the people say only the five permanent members; this is the United Nations because they have the veto, they can do whatever they want and they can refuse whatever they want, and if there's a reform that is very much needed for this organization.

Terrorists have been supported by tens of foreign countries, so Syria alone wouldn't be able to face this kind of war without the help of its friends.

Nobody knows [who they are] because when [terrorists] are dead and they are killed, they don't have any ID.

It is not my democracy as a person; it is our democracy as a society.

The fact that there are people who criticize me doesn't mean that people hate me.

They want to criticize you, let them criticize and do not worry. Just be transparent with your people and tell them this is the reality.

Let's be realistic, every terrorist came to Syria, he came through Turkey with the support of [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan. So, fighting those terrorists is like fighting the army of Erdogan, not the Turkish army, the army of Erdogan.
