At the end, killing is killing. Massacring is massacring.

I don't believe the United States will be ready to join Russia in fighting terrorists in Syria.

You have to look at the reality in Syria. Whenever we liberate any city or village from the terrorists, the civilians will go back to the city, while they flee that city when the terrorists attack that area, the opposite. So, they flee, first of all, the war itself; they flee the area under the control of the terrorists, they flee the difficult situation because of the embargo by the West on Syria.

You cannot talk about winning the war as long as there's killing and destruction on daily basis.

It's a dangerous thing when someone gets up in the morning and has nothing to eat.

When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.

If you don't win and the terrorists win, Syria wouldn't exist anymore.
