This is cooperation [with Hezbollah, Iran , from Russia], I don't know what you mean by support. We have cooperation with countries for decades. Why talk about this cooperation now ?

This is reality. If [the American officials] want to believe, that's good, that will help them understand the region and be more successful in their policies.

That the rebels or the terrorists used the chemical weapons in northern Aleppo five months ago [in 2013].

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.

I think the most important part of this now is, let's say the American people, but the polls show that the majority now don't want a war, anywhere, not only against Syria.

If there is any change regarding that hope, we should ask the Syrian people, not anyone else in the world.

Revolution should be Syrian, cannot be revolution imported from abroad.
