I 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.

That's the problem with the American position; they think that they are the police of the world.

From the first day I took the decision as President to defend my country.

Regarding 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.

The majority of fighters now are Al-Qaeda. If you want to support them, you are supporting Al-Qaeda, you are creating havoc in the region, and if this region is not stable, the whole world cannot be stable.

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

[Peace in Syria] is [António Guterres] priority, and of course it's our priority, that's self-evident.
