The logical thing is to implement the Arab Defense Agreement.

The worst loss for any country is not the infrastructure or the buildings or the material loss; actually, it's the human resources loss.

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

We cannot tell anything about what [Donald Trump] is going to do, but if, let's say if he is going to fight the terrorists, of course we are going to be ally, natural ally in that regard with the Russian, with the Iranian, with many other countries who wanted to defeat the terrorists.

I believe that the United States is not genuine regarding having a cessation of violence in Syria.

We said [U.S] are going to be repercussions of the mistaken way of dealing with it, of treating the terrorism, but nobody expected 11th of September. So, you cannot expect. It is difficult for anyone to tell you what is going to happen. It's an area where everything is on the brink of explosion. You have to expect everything.

When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.
