[Peace in Syria] is [Antรณnio Guterres] priority, and of course it's our priority, that's self-evident.
Bashar al-AssadWe're not sure that if there's chemical weapon used and who used it. We can't talk about virtual things, we have to talk about facts.
Bashar al-AssadI always say the Syrian problem as isolated case, as Syrian case, is not very complicated. What makes it complicated is the interference from the outside, especially the Western interference because it's against the will of the Syrian government, while the intervention of the Russians, Iranians, and Hezbollah is because of the invitation of the Syrian government.
Bashar al-AssadWe are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
Bashar al-AssadTo have or not to have [chemical weapons] is a possibility, but to depend on what media says is nonsense, or to depend on some of the reports of the intelligence is nonsense and that was proven when they invaded Iraq ten years ago and they said "Iraq has stockpiles of WMD" and it was proven after the invasion that this was false ; it was fraud. So, we can't depend on what one magazine wrote.
