Bashar al-Assad's Interview with Europe1 and TF1

Damascus (Syria) | 24 March 2017
February 16th, 2017
Fabien Namias: Good morning Mr President.
Bashar al-Assad: Good morning.
Fabien Namias: A very simple question to begin with. Two months after the fall of Aleppo, can you say that you have won the war?
Bashar al-Assad: No. I do not think that we can talk about having won the war before beating all the terrorists throughout Syria. It is only an important step on the path that is going to lead us to beat and eliminate terrorism from our country; but I think that this (...)

Message from President Assad

Damascus (Syria) | 14 December 2016
Time and History are closely linked but people will not remember Time. What they will remember is History. And Time is only transformed into History when great changes in the world decide it to be so.
For this reason, we speak of before and after the birth of Lord Jesus; of before and after the Revelation that will come to our prophet, the Messenger of God (Mohammed); because History after these events, is no longer what it once was.
The same is true when we speak of global politics (...)

Paris Match: Mr. President, three years into this war, and considering how things have turned out, do you regret that you haven’t managed things differently at the beginning, with the appearance of the first signs of the revolution in March 2011? Do you feel that you are responsible for what happened?
Bashar el Assad: Even in the first days of the events, there were martyrs from the army and the police; so, since the first days of this crisis we have been facing terrorism. It is true that (...)

The Metamorphosis of Bashar al-Assad

Damascus (Syria) | 28 July 2014
Since the retirement of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez’s death and the interdiction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to nominate a candidate in Iran’s presidential election, the revolutionary movement is absent a world leader. Or rather, was absent a world leader. However, the incredible tenacity and composure of Bashar al-Assad has made him the only chief executive in the world surviving a concerted attack by a vast colonial coalition led by Washington and beening largely re-elected by his people.

Inaugural speech of President al-Assad

Damascus (Syria) | 16 July 2014
Honourable Syrians,
Free Syrian Revolutionaries,
Three years and four months have passed since some declared, on your behalf: “The People want.” Yes, The People wanted…. The People decided… The People took action.
A few years ago, some called for freedom – your response was to remain free in the age of subservience, to be masters in the age of slaves. They patronised you with their calls for democracy – your response was to show your will in the most democratic manner possible and refuse (...)

By Ghaleb Kandil
U.S. and European media have recently published dozens of articles on Syria, citing issues they didn’t evoke for more than a year. Images of the atrocities committed by the rebels have been published and photos on beheadings, cannibalism and other barbaric acts perpetrated by pseudo- revolutionaries have emerged. This growing media awareness coincided with threats of military aggression against Syria, launched by President (...)

By Ghaleb Kandil
The resistance of Syria against the colonial war, the last two and a half yers, opened the way for new international balances that could rid the world of the American-Zionist hegemony. Building on this strength, partners and friends of Syria began to lay the foundations of new relations on the regional and international scenes, a quarter century after the transformation of the United Nations to an American colony.
The project (...)

Last week was marked by a series of clues illustrating a fundamental change in the American political and media discourse on Syria as a prelude to a frank admission of the failure of Washington’s plan in this country, which should appear after the Russian-American summit.
Thus, Washington has knowingly made that President Barack Obama rejected a plan of arming Syrian rebels presented by Hillary (...)

By Ghaleb Kandil
From what has came out from the tripartite meeting in Geneva between the Russians, the Americans and the international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, Friday, January 11, it is clear that the refusal of the United States to recognize the failure of the universal war that they launched against Syria and its president Bashar al-Assad, is a major obstacle that prevents a political solution to the Syrian crisis.

By Pierre Khalaf
The timing chosen by President Bashar al-Assad to propose a plan to end the crisis is not trivial. It coincided, first, with successive defeats for the armed groups, which destroyed the illusions of the United States and its European and Arab auxiliaries, distorting all their calculations, and then with information about a Russian-American meeting, mid-January, to discuss the results of (...)

The world and the region are turning the page of a year of consecutive disappointments which affected the global war on Syria throughout 2012.

The recent developments in Syria revealed a series of important signs which will have decisive repercussions over the course of the global war led by the United States to destroy this country.

Syria rising and resisting despite the wounds.
The Syrian national state was able to topple the most dangerous link in the global war led by the United States. The field and political facts thus reveal that the Syrian state has regained control on all levels, which is imposing new equations and forcing the American and Israeli decision-making centers that are managing the war on Syria to redo their calculations.
Firstly, the Syrian Arab forces, while enjoying clear support and backing (...)

Editorial: A mark of shame for the ‘International Community’
In the Arab East, the expression ‘international community’ has become a synonym for all sorts of international crimes targeting the region, its wealth and the security of its people. This expression which was spread by the North Americans –especially following the collapse on the Soviet Union - conveys the new international order that is subjected to the United States’ hegemony, and through which dozens of international (...)
