President Al-Assad Says His Responsibility is to Restore Stability in Syria to Bring Refugees Back

Presidential Activities

DAMASCUS, (ST)- “My responsibility is not to go and ask any president to allow the Syrians to go and have refuge in his country…My responsibility is to restore the stability in order to bring them back to Syria and find refuge in their country,” President Bashar Al-Assad has stressed in an interview with Yahoo News.

 Replying a question on US President  Donald Trump’s decision to ban the entry of refugees and immigrants’ from countries with Muslim majority, particularly the Syrian refugees, to America under the pretext that admitting these refugees may harm the interests of the United States, President Al-Assad said “this is an American issue related to the sovereignty of the American nation…Every country has the right to put any regulations for entering it.. we disagree or agree, but if you ask me as a President , as an official in the Syria state, my responsibility is not to go and ask any president to allow the Syrians to go and have refuge there..my responsibility is to restore the stability in order to bring them back to Syria and find refuge in their country,”       

 Asked if some of those refugees, in his point of view, are aligned with terrorists , President Al- Assad replied, “Definitely.”“You can find it on the Net.” “ In some instances, those terrorists in Syria, holding the machine gun or killing people, they are peaceful refugees in Europe or in the West in general. Yeah, that’s true.”

Concerning the number of terrorists among the 4.8 million Syrian refugees, President Al-Assad said “no-one has any number, nobody knows, because nobody knows all the terrorists to give a percentage, no-one at all.  You don’t need a significant number to commit atrocities. For example, 9/11 attacks were carried out by only 15 terrorists out of maybe millions of immigrants in the United States. So it’s not about the number, it’s about the quality, it’s about the intentions.”

Full Interview will be broadcast on Friday at 1.00 p.m.
