The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.

In any war, people will pay the price.

You have different parties, different factions, you have different ideologies ; you have everything in Middle East region now.

Many Syrians understand that the only way to protect your country is to live with each other with integration, not only in coexistence, which is actually more precise to call cohabitation, when people interact and integrate with each other on daily basis in every detail. So, I think in this regard I am more assured that Syria will be more unified. So, the only problem now that we face is not the partition, but terrorism.

When you have terrorists, you don't throw at them balloons or you don't use rubber sticks, for example. You have to use armaments.

You hardly find any military base in distant areas from the [Syria] cities unless it's an airport or something like this, but most of the military bases or centers within inhabited areas.

We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.
