Conversely, it is correct to say that bringing about peace would be the best way to fight terror.

I never rejected any responsibility, but that depends on the decision.

If we want to expect something from this [Barack Obama] administration, it is not to be weak, to be strong to say that "we don't have evidence," that "we have to obey the international law", that "we have to go back to the Security Council and the United Nations".

From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country. So, who killed ? That's another question. Actually, the terrorists have been killing our people since the beginning of this crisis two years and a half ago, and the Syrian people wanted the government and the state institutions and the army and the police to defend them, and that's what happened.

You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government, the governments are not the only player in [Middle East] region.

Whether you call it terrorism or resistance, and whether you like Hamas or not, it is a political entity that no one can ignore.

For the West, they wanted to undermine the Syrian positions. For the petrodollar countries like Saudi Arabia, they're thinking undermining Syria will undermine Iran on sectarian basis.
