DAMASCUS-  President Bashar al-Assad has stressed that nobody believes that Turkey will repatriate 3 million Syrian refugees to the northeast of the country and this is a deceptive humanitarian slogan raised by Turkish regime to create an ethnic conflict in this area and to bring the terrorists and their families into this region in order to create a new extremist community in line with the vision sought by President of the Turkish regime, Erdogan.

In an interview given to RUSSIA 24 and ROSSIYA SEVODNYA, President al-Assad clarified that  most of the Kurds are patriots who support their state and the Syrian people, but there are groups, some of these groups are Kurds, some are Arabs, working under American command and there is currently a dialogue with them, since the return of the Syrian Army to north, to convince them that stability is achieved when all of us are committed to the Syrian constitution.

He said: “ After nine years of war, I think that most people understand the importance of embracing the state regardless of political differences.”

President al-Assad emphasized that every war will result in a lot of changes in society but it doesn’t mean dividing the country, moving towards separation; throwing out the constitution or weakening the state, confirming that the war should be an experience from which we come out with a stronger, not weaker homeland.

He pointed out that the American presence in Syria will generate a military resistance which will exact losses among the Americans, and consequently force them to leave.  “However, America cannot believe that it will live comfortably in any area it occupies.  We remind them of Iraq and Afghanistan, and Syria will not be an exception.”

President al-Assad indicated that the immediate and most effective solution is to unite as Syrians and as patriots and this would cause the Americans to leave the Syrian territory.

DAMASCUS, (ST)- President Bashar Al-Assad has stressed that Syria supports all efforts that aim at finding a solution to the crisis in Syria, "but some parties are trying to suggest that the solution to the war in Syria can be attained through the constitutional committee, which is not true."

President Al-Assad made the remarks during his meeting on Thursday with Mojtaba Zonnour, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.

DAMASCUS, (ST)- The sanctions that have been imposed on the Syrian people by western countries, including the EU states, have aimed at inciting the Syrians to rise up against their government, but they failed, President Bashar Al-Assad has stressed in an interview with RT International,  according to a video posted by the Syrian Presidency's facebook page.

The interview will be broadcast in full on Monday.

 Asked about what Syria did when the British government sent the royal navy to intercept an Iranian vessel claiming that the Iranian government was sending heating oil for Syria and about whether the sanctions from the European Union will hit the poorest people in Syria this winter, President Al-Assad said :"First of all this is piracy by the United Kingdom's regime and  second, yes, they wanted to affect the people in Syria, because those people were expected to rise against their government during the different stages of the war but they didn't. They were supposed to be supporting the terrorists, the moderate rebels, the angels of the White Helmets, but the people didn't."
