Bashar al-AssadAmerica must listen. It must listen to the interests of others. But the US government has no interest in similarities, no matter how obvious.

Bashar al-AssadI don't have support. Not me ; all Syria. Every agreement is between every class and every sector in Syria ; government, people, trade, military, culture, everything ; it's like the cooperation between your country and any other country in the world. It's the same cooperation. It's not about me ; it's not support for the crisis.
