President Al-Assad: “when you stick to your national interests, you may pay the price and suffer in the short term, but you will win in the long term”  

President Bashar Al-Assad, in an interview with the Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, said that “when you adhere to your national interests and your principles, you may pay a price and suffer, and you may lose in the short term, but in the long term you will win national unity, and later, conditions must change and you gain everything you aspire to in your homeland.”

President Al-Assad stressed that “Israel” is the occupier and the aggressor that kills the Palestinians because they are defending themselves.

President al-Assad stressed that the political system in the West is that of buying and selling and has nothing to do with common interests, pointing out that the Western blockade on other countries undermines and weakens the dollar and achieves their interests in the long term.

President Al-Assad said that Russia is a country on which the fate of the world depends, and the decisions made by President Vladimir Putin have returned Russia to the international arena and restore the international balance.

According to the Syrian Arab News Agency, President Al-Assad said that the West will not accept Russia as a partner, because “the United States does not even accept Europe as a partner, since Great Britain, France and Germany are all lackey countries, so, if the United States does not accept Europe as a partner, it will be impossible for it to accept Russia.

“The experiences and lessons learned from the relationship with the United States show that the relationship with the West is a temporary relationship. The West will use you and support you, but when your role ends, it will throw you away,” Al-Assad added.

“The West is funny and stupid sometimes. The blockade on Cuba began sixty years ago, and the blockade on Syria began in 1979, and in the same year on Iran, and then on North Korea, and it continued to expand, and now the blockade falls on Russia and China. What will be the result after a while? The West will discover that it the one that is blockaded,” said President Al-Assad.

The President added that blockaded countries deal with each other and the result is that the dollar loses its value and its weight, and this is a good thing.

“I think that the Western blockade of other countries undermines and weakens the dollar and benefits our long-term interests,” he pointed out.
