Syria has taught the world lessons in coexistence, where people have lived together naturally for more than eight thousand years.

We cannot link the revolution to Sunni Islam, and I reject claims that all Alawites supported the regime or any similar generalizations.

We do not justify abuses, as Syria is a state governed by the rule of law that protects everyone’s rights.

The accusation of being a terrorist is a wrong claim, many rulings worldwide are politicized. What defines terrorism and extremism? We need clear definitions and evidence.

In Gaza, 60,000 innocent people have been killed. The Assad regime killed and displaced thousands, yet it is not labeled terrorist — those killed are often called terrorists by the stronger side in wars.

For 20 years, I have fought passionately without harming any civilian.

Has any terrorist entered major cities for 11 days without harming civilians?

Double standards caused false labels, the Security Council has now lifted such this claim after seeing the truth.

After liberation, we held a comprehensive national dialogue conference, which led to a provisional constitutional declaration.

This declaration grants the president the authority to serve for five years, during which we will issue many laws and draft the constitution.

The constitution will serve as the fundamental framework for our system of government. After four years, we will certainly hold elections.

The Syrian Army has learned and gained expertise that it can now teach to other armies — the Russians have said this.

In the beginning, Hezbollah used to say, "We are the masters of street warfare; we can do it." But now they're quiet; we no longer hear a sound from them.

You're asking me the way someone would ask... "Is he better, or is his father better?"

Honestly, I don't feel anything. My eyes don't notice them, and my mind doesn't see them.
