Syrian President Bashar Assad gave an interview to the Russian RT channel in Damascus, the interview lined a number of matters together with the NATO-Russian struggle in Ukraine, aka Russian Particular Army Operation, the western blockade on Syria and now Russia, and the most recent developments in northern Syria with the Turkish threats of invasion and the Turkish madman Erdogan’s plans to Israelize giant elements of northern Syria, the present financial state of affairs in Syria and the obstacles stopping it from growing together with combating corruption, and the Israeli aggression, particularly with the current Israeli alliances with some Arabic states.
The total transcript of the interview which might be aired by RT tomorrow, Friday as conveyed by the Syrian information company Sana:
The video can be out there on YouTube, BitChute, Odysee, and Rumble.
Introduction: To our viewers, welcome to a brand new version of “Information Maker,” coming to you from the Syrian capital Damascus, with an interview with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
Mr. President, welcome to RT, and thanks for receiving us.
President Assad: You might be welcome in Damascus, Syria.
Journalist: Thanks very a lot.
Query 1: Allow us to begin Mr. President with probably the most distinguished situation on the worldwide enviornment and pose a query from our viewers on Arabic.RT.com: why has Damascus supported the Russian Particular Army Operation in Ukraine?
President Assad: There are a number of causes. First, Russia is Syria’s ally, and Russia is dealing with a struggle that in my opinion shouldn’t be linked to the growth of NATO, as some folks might imagine. This animosity has existed even earlier than communism and the First World Conflict, it’s an ongoing struggle, and Russia performs an necessary function to make sure a global equilibrium exists.
So, we are able to view Russia from two views. The primary is that of an ally: if our ally triumphs within the battle, or if their political place is strengthened within the worldwide enviornment, then it is a win for us as nicely. From a second perspective, Russia’s energy at the moment constitutes a restoration – albeit partial, of worldwide equilibrium. This re-balance that we’re witnessing, will affect smaller nations, together with Syria. That is my strategic view – the underside line, with out going into different authorized elements.
Query 2: Russian officers say that it’s the battle for brand spanking new world order. Mr. President, do you see this as the ultimate throes of American hegemony, or are we nonetheless distant from a multipolar world?
President Assad: There are these, who confer with this struggle as the tip of the unipolar system that was created on account of the collapse of the Soviet Union; that is inaccurate. It’s partially appropriate if we’re referring to NATO after the disappearance of the Warsaw Pact, or if we view it from a political perspective and the dominance of Western powers, underneath the management of america, of the UN Safety Council. Nonetheless, in actuality, the unipolar system was created after the Second World Conflict, when the Bretton Woods Convention established a brand new financial order that made the US greenback the world reserve foreign money.
As we speak, what’s extra necessary than the army outcomes, or at the very least what’s equally necessary in order to not exaggerate, are the financial outcomes of this struggle, notably the standing of the greenback. If the greenback continues to manipulate the world economic system, nothing will change, whatever the outcomes of the struggle.
Query 3: Staying with the greenback, many individuals say that america is utilizing the greenback to blackmail the world and those that opposed it. How do you view this Western financial struggle in opposition to Moscow and might or not it’s in contrast with the financial sanctions in opposition to Syria?
President Assad: First, utilizing the greenback shouldn’t be blackmail, it’s theft as a result of, after the Second World Conflict, the Individuals pledged that the greenback would replicate the gold reserve (they pegged the greenback to gold). Initially of the Seventies through the Nixon administration, america determined to desert the Gold Normal, separating the greenback from gold, and consequently, it turned a nugatory piece of paper. However the truth is, america nonetheless continues to commerce all over the world utilizing this nugatory piece of paper. That is theft, and it applies to the entire world. Lately, the US raised rates of interest, and as a consequence the worth of all different currencies dropped, affecting the economically weaker nations.
Sure, it’s a device for sanctions. So long as the greenback is a worldwide foreign money and continues to be settled by means of US banks or what is named the American Federal Reserve, you’re underneath the authority, of this greenback; and subsequently, your future as a state, a rustic, or society, as an economic system is underneath the mercy of america. It’s a central a part of the blockade, and with out it (the greenback) America wouldn’t be a superpower in any respect.
Query 4: Mr. President, I additionally requested in regards to the comparability between the western sanctions in opposition to Moscow and the expertise of Damascus on this regard. To what extent is the comparability legitimate?
President Assad: As for the sanctions, whatever the greenback, in fact, it’s the similar mentality: a mentality of hegemony, colonialism, and vanity. They nonetheless imagine that the state of affairs is because it was a number of a long time in the past and that the West controls the whole lot the world wants.
As we speak, the world has modified; there may be Russia, China, and plenty of different rising nations. Sure, we’re underneath sanctions, however lots of our primary wants usually are not purchased from Western nations, we now have severed our relationships with them. These nations nonetheless have the identical mentality and this can result in the identical failure. Each nation can now safe its primary livelihood and development necessities with out American permission.
Query 5: This may very well be a optimistic message for Russian residents, however let’s speak additionally, Mr. President, in regards to the Syrian residents and all of the financial challenges they face. Are the sanctions the one cause for this disaster: the collapse of the Syrian Lira, the troublesome dwelling circumstances and different challenges?
President Assad: No, in no way, and I’ve acknowledged this publicly. Sure, the sanctions are a part of the issue, as a result of they elevate prices and sluggish the financial course of, however there are different world causes like Covid-19 for instance.
The West is presenting a story that the present issues are a results of the Ukraine struggle and extra exactly a results of Russian coverage. The truth, nevertheless, is totally different. Among the nationwide challenges are as a consequence of inner financial plans and never solely exterior elements. So, it is very important distinguish between challenges arising on account of the struggle, the sanctions, on account of authorities plans or on account of the general financial setting, which may very well be as a consequence of insurance policies of corporations or habits of residents. These all affect the financial state of affairs each positively and negatively.
Intervention: A part of it has to do with corruption too?
President Assad: Precisely, the economic system is affected by quite a few elements, together with administration as nicely.
Query 6: Let’s cease somewhat together with your plan for combating corruption?
President Assad: Most nations in a state of struggle are inclined to delay or halt many core processes, considered one of which is combating corruption. In Syria, our view is totally different: due to the struggle, we want greater than ever to fight corruption. That is for the easy cause that wars weaken state establishments, and when state establishments are weak, corruption turns into extra widespread. It is a widespread unlucky consequence of struggle in any nation, and isn’t distinctive to Syria. Subsequently, throughout such occasions that you must improve your efforts at combatting corruption and that is what we’re doing. After all there are obstacles: the struggle itself is an impediment, the weak spot of state establishments on account of struggle is one other impediment, in addition to the executive system that requires lots of reform and is a very powerful consider combating corruption.
So, we’re continuing with this method throughout all sectors: political, financial and administrative, however as a consequence of our present circumstances, there isn’t a assure that we can obtain our ambitions.
Query 7: That is true, notably because the Syrian folks have renewed their belief in you Mr. President. Your marketing campaign slogan was “Hope in Motion,” however in our tour of the nation and when speaking with Syrians, we felt a type of frustration due to the troublesome circumstances they’re dealing with. Right here we ask, to what extent can this hope be revived in a Syria that’s dropping its oil assets as a result of they’re underneath the management of different events – we’ll tackle this shortly, in addition to having to cope with different challenges, wheat for instance. What do you will have out there to you Mr. President?
President Assad: First, what you’re saying is appropriate. I urged ‘hope’ as a result of there may be frustration; I acknowledged this frustration which led me to undertake the slogan. Second, these phrases usually are not a slogan, they’re the title of an answer.
Hope doesn’t come from sitting round and ready, it comes from our makes an attempt to be proactive and productive. Do we now have the required instruments to be productive? Sure, in fact, we do, in any other case, the state wouldn’t have endured. Medical care in Syria remains to be free regardless of the decline of companies; schooling remains to be free regardless of the decline within the high quality of schooling on account of the circumstances; subsidies are nonetheless out there, regardless of the lowering price of those subsidies. All of those primary companies are nonetheless out there, with no change in our coverage. Equally, are there new services and enterprises rising or rising throughout this era of struggle? After all there are. There are a lot of individuals who love their nation and are able to take dangers and make investments on this present local weather, which isn’t finest fitted to funding.
Query 8: What’s required of the Syrian residents? How can they accommodate assembly their day by day wants underneath deteriorating dwelling circumstances for a trigger they take into account to be patriotic?
President Assad: If we agree that a rise in productiveness is the perfect resolution to enhance dwelling circumstances and companies, then we should establish what the obstacles are. The principle impediment is electrical energy, and as such our focus since 2021 has been to search out options to the electrical energy scarcity, which is a results of the sanctions. Now we have been profitable and it’s protected to say that in 2022 we’ll witness an enchancment on this discipline, which little doubt can have a optimistic affect on our manufacturing capabilities.
So each the issue and the answer have been clearly recognized and we’re transferring in the best path, however we must always not elevate our expectations too excessive and imagine that each one our issues might be resolved; in no way. There might be an enchancment and it is going to be gradual, however we have to be conscious that there are circumstances that aren’t in our favor. There are makes an attempt to undermine each step we take in the direction of improvement. We should cope with every downside because it arises and proceed to search out sustainable options; that is all a part of the struggle. And after I say there may be hope, it implies that we now have the instruments and the capabilities to face all makes an attempt from exterior forces to undermine development in Syria.
Query 9: These makes an attempt additionally apply to political reforms. Maybe I’m speaking right here in regards to the constitutional committee. Why is it not making progress in your opinion?
President Assad: No, that is completely totally different and has nothing to do with the sanctions. If we’re referring to the Constitutional Committee, then the requirement is to reach at a structure. A structure that expresses the needs, the values, the aspirations, and the tradition of the Syrian folks; one that may be a center floor between all of the totally different segments and currents that exist in our society. If that is the end result we aspire to realize, then logically we’re speaking a few dialogue between Syrians, or what we’d name a Syrian-Syrian dialogue underneath the idea that there are two events.
Almost about the Constitutional Committee, we’re additionally referring to 2 events. The primary get together was proposed by the Syrian authorities. Its members are neither diplomats nor authorities staff, however they do signify the views of the Syrian authorities.
The second get together is appointed by Turkey. So the logical query is how is it doable to have a Syrian-Syrian dialogue when one get together is Syrian and the opposite get together is Turkish? That is the issue. That’s the reason we’re not reaching something, as a result of fairly merely, the primary get together expresses the aspirations of the Syrian folks, whereas the opposite get together expresses the aspirations of the Turkish authorities.
Query 10: Nonetheless, Mr. President, let’s discuss what the opposite get together is saying. There are those that say that the Syrian authorities is worried that the constitutional committee will produce one thing that interferes with the authorities of the president. What do you say?
President Assad: This isn’t a difficulty. The Syrian Structure doesn’t categorical the views of the president, or the federal government or the ruling get together; it expresses the unanimous views of the Syrian folks. So, something agreed by the Syrians is appropriate, and any state that’s created in any type must be in alignment with the brand new structure; that is ultimate.
There can’t be stability with a structure that’s at odds with the desires of the folks. That’s the reason no matter consequence is reached by the Constitutional Committee now or later, or underneath some other circumstances, have to be put to a preferred referendum; it won’t be handed by the federal government. That is definitive. It ought to replicate the folks and their needs, and therefore the folks both approve or reject the structure.
Query 11: To construct consensus amongst Syrians is likely to be the target of the common amnesty issued (Decree No. 7) which opened the door for the return of Syrian refugees to Syria and different reformist selections. Nonetheless, there’s a criticism to the impact that each one those that opposed and oppose President Bashar al-Assad being in energy might be handled as traitors of the homeland.
President Assad: No, there are legal guidelines in Syria. We wouldn’t have what is usually known as “political prisoners;” this time period doesn’t exist. There are nationwide givens and we now have to watch out to not confuse political freedom with transgressing in opposition to nationwide givens. Somebody would possibly say why don’t we quit our occupied territories to Israel. That is punishable by legislation, it’s a nationwide situation not a political one.
The identical precept applies to different issues like opposing the president. There are a lot of Syrians in Syria who don’t agree with me on many insurance policies. Opposition to an individual or a authorities is one factor, however transgressing in opposition to nationwide givens is one other. Those that oppose can achieve this, there isn’t a downside and this doesn’t have an effect on me personally.
Intervention: Does this additionally apply to the Kurdish forces?
President Assad: The Kurdish situation is totally different. If we have a look at it from a nationwide perspective, the Kurds represent an ethnicity that has existed in Syria all through historical past; the vast majority of them are patriotic. Nonetheless, there are some who usually are not, simply as there are additionally some Arabs, non-Arabs who’re additionally not patriotic and who act as brokers for others, particularly Individuals. The problem has nothing to do with the president or with political opposition, the problem right here is the unity of the Syrian homeland.
The notion of a number of ethnicities taking the type of cantons or federations is the start of division, whereas the Syrian variety inside a framework of nationwide unity is enriching, and we view this positively. Ethnic, non secular and sectarian variety enriches Syrian society, not the opposite means. Nonetheless, when it’s introduced within the improper framework it turns into a curse and that is one thing we don’t permit.
Intervention: The door is open for dialogue with everybody, aside from those that you will have described as brokers, notably of america.
President Assad: Generally we now have to interact even with brokers.
Query 12: Nonetheless, I wish to give attention to the Kurdish forces, notably people who management the oil wells, with American assist. What are your views on this, and what playing cards does Damascus have in an effort to restore its property and territories?
President Assad: The issue with any occupation of a rustic, or any invasion, shouldn’t be the invasion itself, no matter how large the military is; the issue lies with the brokers who assist the invader. That is the problem and it exists in Syria. There are forces appearing underneath the authority of the Individuals and on their behalf, in opposition to the unity of Syrian society.
The conventional response, which is what we’re beginning to see in these areas – the japanese space, is well-liked resistance because the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants don’t settle for these deviations and refuse to cope with the occupier and this treason. This has began a battle between these forces and the native inhabitants.
So long as there are individuals who act as brokers, the occupier will stay sturdy. So first, these brokers must be purged. They need to be weakened, after which the occupier will robotically go away as a result of well-liked resistance will improve in opposition to them. The answer then in dealing with any invasion, notably while you wouldn’t have the required army capabilities, is well-liked resistance.
Query 13: We’re not speaking right here solely in regards to the American problem, for you even have Turkey which now not hides its ambition to create what it describes as a protected zone inside Syrian territories. What are your plans to forestall that?
President Assad: It’s throughout the similar framework. If there may be an invasion, there might be well-liked resistance within the first occasion. After all, the Syrian military shouldn’t be deployed in all of the Syrian territory, however within the areas the place it’s deployed, and when circumstances permit for direct army confrontation, we won’t hesitate. This was the case two and a half years in the past when there was a conflict between the Syrian and Turkish armies, and the Syrian military destroyed some Turkish targets that had moved into Syrian territories. The identical will occur once more in as a lot because the army capabilities will permit.
Query 14: What about Idlib, what’s your imaginative and prescient for the state of affairs there?
President Assad: Like all occupied territory, it’s topic to the Syrian army and political plans for liberation. There isn’t a doubt about this; any land occupied by the Turks or by the terrorists might be liberated in time.
Query 15: Regardless of this and with the existence of all these problematic information, there are those that are speaking about reconstruction. Are there any pressing plans in that regard? Are there states which have expressed a willingness to participate? There are additionally these, Mr. President, who’ve made the hyperlink between this file and your go to to the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi.
President Assad: There are corporations from numerous Arab states and never the states themselves – which have expressed a need to participate. If we take note of the intense stress utilized by the West by means of sanctions on any firm that may spend money on Syria, we acknowledge that the method might be sluggish and dangerous for a lot of of them. Nonetheless, there are these which can be making ready to spend money on Syria in ways in which circumvent the sanctions.
If we wish to discuss reconstruction in its broad sense, I can not say that the present political, financial or safety state of affairs permits for large-scale reconstruction. Nonetheless, a technique of reconstruction has began albeit a restricted one. That is partly by means of traders, corporations or people who’re rebuilding their services and infrastructure, and partly by means of the state’s effort in rebuilding the arteries that represent the core of financial life in a few of the large cities.
Query 16: I wish to cease somewhat together with your go to to Abu Dhabi and Syria’s return by means of this huge gate, because it was described. How do you your self see it?
President Assad: I don’t understand how a big gate is outlined and what the phrase return means, as a result of we by no means left. Syria has remained instead, with the identical positions and the identical circumstances, coping with them in its personal means and in accordance with its rules and views. Nonetheless, I wish to say that of their essence, Syrian-Arab relations haven’t modified a lot through the struggle; most Arab states have maintained their relations with us and stood with us ‘morally’..
Intervention: Even people who withdrew their diplomatic missions?
President Assad: Sure, even people who withdrew their diplomatic missions maintained the connection and stored optimistic emotions in the direction of Syria regardless of not with the ability to do something. Their place is identical, with some formal adjustments occurring to this relationship on account of the change in circumstances whether or not regional, world, or some other, however I can not communicate on their behalf. Nonetheless, I don’t imagine there’s a nice change in substance, the massive change that’s occurring is when it comes to type.
Query 17: Let’s ask truthfully: does Damascus have any grudge in opposition to the nations which deserted her throughout its disaster?
President Assad: Initially, to grudge is proof of weak spot. Secondly, begrudging doesn’t lead wherever and doesn’t create any optimistic outcomes, particularly in relations with nations. Thirdly, we now have to tell apart between coverage errors made by states and the folks in these states. We search Arab-Arab relations, which suggests relations between folks; and on this case, there are not any grudges. Fourthly, we all know that Arab nations have their very own circumstances. We’re capable of say no on many points, maybe, many Arab nations are unable to do the identical.
This isn’t a justification however it’s fait accompli, and we now have to cope with it. Blaming and complaining don’t obtain outcomes. That’s why we must always look to the long run and that is what we are saying in all of our discussions. We glance to the long run, what occurred up to now is up to now. Blaming doesn’t change something: the destruction has occurred, the losses have been incurred and the blood has been spilled; so let’s speak positively. That is the Syrian method.
Query 18: Within the close to future, the Arab summit might be hosted by Algeria. Many individuals are speaking about you attending the summit. Are there any steps on this regard?
President Assad: Maybe the one weight this summit has is the truth that it’s held in Algeria. It is a truth, I’m not being diplomatic right here. Syria’s relations with Algeria, underneath all circumstances and since its independence from France within the early Seventies have been constant. There’s something strong between the 2 peoples, perhaps as a result of the historical past is analogous regardless of the totally different intervals.
But when we tackle the Arab league, whatever the Algeria summit, the query shouldn’t be Syria’s return or non-return – and the phrase return is improper as a result of Syria remains to be within the Arab League. Its membership was suspended, Syria didn’t go away.
The problem is: what is going to the Arab League do sooner or later, no matter whether or not Syria is within the league or not. Will it obtain any of the aspirations of the Arab residents? I don’t imagine that it has achieved something all through the previous three a long time; and positively, over the past ten years, it was a canopy for the aggression in opposition to Libya, Syria, and each different aggression. So, the query is: will it be capable to change this coverage or not? If the Arab League continues with this method, nothing will change. Ultimately, Arab states are subjected to exterior stress in all areas. So long as that is the case, the end result would be the similar and it’s damaging. Subsequently, Syria’s return or the termination of the suspension is one thing formal. It might need some advantages, however we don’t rely on them.
Query 19: By way of the steps taken just lately, together with your go to to Abu Dhabi, and the optimistic speak or the optimistic tone of the media discourse in lots of Arab capitals, is that this going so as to add as much as see you in Algeria and afterward by means of this entrance to terminate the suspension as you mentioned?
President Assad: I might be glad to go to any Arab nation. That is for positive, however it can not occur with out an invite. It’s regular and intuitive to consider visiting Arab nations as a result of, regardless of the completely poor state of the Arab world, we now have to restrict the harm and keep away from extra decline. Dialogue with Arab nations and Arab officers is crucial.
Query 20: Right here we’d level out one thing essential. Many individuals say that any return to regular relations with the Arab states undergo the connection with Iran, and it’ll not be excellent so long as the shut relations between Damascus and Tehran proceed. How can Syria stability its relations with Iran, on the one hand, and let me say Saudi Arabia, if the relations returned, on the opposite?
President Assad: First, Syria’s relations with any nation usually are not topic to dialogue with anybody. Nobody decides for Syria with whom it could actually and can’t have relations. Nobody decides for us, and neither will we resolve for anybody else. Nobody interferes in our selections nor will we intrude with anybody else’s. This situation shouldn’t be topic to dialogue and isn’t even on the desk. Even when it was raised with us, we’d reject it immediately.
That is first. Secondly, many nations that used to lift this situation up to now, haven’t completed so for years, as a result of they themselves are engaged with Iran, and it is a contradiction. Thirdly, Iran is a vital nation. If we wish to discuss stability within the Center East, we want relations with all these nations. However, if we wish to speak in regards to the stability between relations, the precept is improper.
Intervention: Notably that Damascus has achieved for a few years.
President Assad: Precisely, however not primarily based on the concept of stability, as a result of stability implies that there are contradictory events that we have to stability between. We don’t view issues on this means. We imagine that each one these nations have widespread pursuits. And as such, the method doesn’t want stability in relations, however quite an openness and good relations. At present, there’s a dialogue between the Gulf states and Iran, and we view this positively, unbiased of our relationships with these gulf nations.
Query 21: Would possibly we see mediation after restoring normalcy to the relations between Riyadh and Tehran?
President Assad: After all, the fundamental logic implies that if there’s a disagreement between events that you’ve good relations with, it is just regular so that you can play the function of mediator to assist bridge the variations; this serves the person and collective pursuits of all nations within the area. At present, we wouldn’t have these regular relations with all events and so we’re unable to play this function for the time being.
Query 22: There have been regular relations, or normalization, on the a part of a lot of Arab capitals with Israel. How do you observe the normalization in relations between these nations and Israel? And there have been rumors that haven’t excluded Syria to the impact that Damascus will normalize on the situation of restoring the Occupied Golan. Might this occur?
President Assad: First, the time period is improper. In Syria, we now have rejected the time period normalization because the starting of the peace course of within the 90s, as a result of normalization, as a linguistic time period, implies a standard relationship. And a standard relationship ought to transfer easily like water, with out obstacles; it can’t be coerced or synthetic. The time period normalization, nevertheless, is synthetic in that it goals at pushing the Arabs in the direction of making concessions to Israel in return for nothing; that is the target.
For us in Syria, the time period is regular relations and that is linked to a peace course of, which is linked to the return of rights; that is definitive. Then again, we’re in opposition to a relationship with Israel, no matter whether or not we confer with it as normalization or anything. This has been the case from the onset since this course of began with Egypt within the mid-Seventies and at the moment our place stays the identical.
We don’t agree with any such course of and we imagine that each one of those processes have broken our Syrian trigger, not to mention the Palestinian one. Nonetheless, the most important flaw on this subject is the OSLO settlement, which granted all these advantages to Israel by the proprietor (Palestine) of this trigger, consequently offering a justification for any nation on the earth to normalize relations or make peace with Israel – name it what you prefer it doesn’t matter as a result of the proprietor of the trigger has deserted it. So, we’re in opposition to normalization as a result of it impacts us.
Syria won’t ever change its place so long as there may be occupied land, which is the Golan. When the Golan is restored we are able to speak. And this doesn’t come within the framework of normalization however quite when it comes to having regular relations between any two states. Regular relations don’t imply heat or chilly relations, regular relations imply what folks need them to imply in the best way that they decide.
Query 23: Nonetheless, whereas we’re speaking, Israeli shelling continues on extra targets, the final of which was within the environment of Damascus airport. We wish to hear your touch upon that.
President Assad: It is a totally different situation, though it finally results in the identical topic which is pushing Syria in the direction of making concessions. The Israeli interference firstly was linked on to when the terrorists collapsed in Syria, as a result of the terrorist for us is the Israeli military, albeit with a Syrian or one other identification. So, when the terrorists started to retreat and their morale collapsed, the Israeli intervention was vital to lift their morale and to re-mobilize them. What Israel is doing now comes inside this framework and nothing else.
Query 24: The final query with which I wish to conclude together with your Excellency is the picture that the West initiatives about President Bashar al-Assad. They are saying that the president stands in opposition to his folks and in opposition to regional and worldwide powers. As we speak, after a few 12 months of your being elected by the Syrian folks and the optimistic tone, as I mentioned, of many Arab and Western capitals, or let me say worldwide capitals, has the picture modified?
President Assad: When it comes to most of the people, sure it has modified. Not as a result of we now have been capable of tackle the West utilizing a special language or due to totally different media capabilities, however quite as a result of the massive lie that Western officers used to start with, and the limitless exaggerations, put them in a troublesome place. They climbed too far up the tree and didn’t know how you can come down.
Suppose we observe the official channels of main media retailers within the West that proceed to unfold these lies and which have shut political affiliations. In that case, we discover that lots of the feedback written by their very own residents present that they now not imagine this narrative.
If we wish to tackle the supposed revolution, what is that this revolution that has continued for eleven years, with the assist from the strongest and richest nations on the earth? A revolution that supposedly represents the want of the folks in opposition to the state, but the state has not fallen? Does this state include supermen? This lie shouldn’t be convincing. No revolution continues for this size of time. That is along with many different lies, that their residents have uncovered with the passing of time.
So, sure, I can say that the image has modified, however no, this doesn’t imply that individuals dwelling within the West know what’s going on; they know that there’s a large lie, however they don’t essentially know the massive reality in our area.
Intervention: Ready to know the massive reality.
President Assad: Little question about that.
Journalist: Thanks very a lot, Mr. President, for this interview, notably since RT goes by means of troublesome occasions and is being subjected to a lot harassment. Thanks very a lot for receiving us.
President Assad: Thanks for visiting Syria. I wish to take this chance to congratulate the Russian folks on their nationwide day which might be celebrated in just a few days, on the twelfth of this month.
You talked about the sanctions in opposition to RT. You might be a part of this battle and considered one of its weapons. We’re concerned in an identical battle, albeit underneath totally different headlines. As we speak, the weapon is now not solely related to a gun or a missile, it’s also related to the reality. The largest sufferer through the previous decade of all the problems introduced was the reality. So, I hope that this interview is one block in an even bigger construction – the construction of reality, which is able to take a few years to construct.
Journalist: We thanks very a lot, Your Excellency, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.
And due to our viewers. Goodbye
