The Biggest Victory

The biggest victory today is to eliminate terrorism, terrorists and terrorist thinking, underscored H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad in a recent interview with Tishreen Daily.

Actually, the best way out from the ongoing crisis in Syria is through the elimination of terrorism and terrorists. Thus is the need is dire to end  support for terrorist groups in Syria, especially the support provided by the West tools in the region like Turkey, still providing the terrorists with logistic support and facilitating their movement and entry to Syria, and Saudi Arabia, still sending the terrorists and supporting them with money and weapons.

”The real mass destruction weapons used against us, which we have to think how to deter, are the weapons of extremism. This weapon is the most lethal than any other weapon, and some countries, including Israel, use it against us; we have to focus at this weapon and how to deter it. Most important deterrence  now is how to combat terrorism, and this is the priority at this stage,” outlined H.E. President Al-Assad, asserting that Syria, never to negotiate with the terrorists, has no alternative other than defending the country against terrorism.

“It is not possible to put terrorism in your pocket and use it as a card because it is like a scorpion which won’t hesitate to sting you at the first opportunity,” President Al-Assad said, according to a transcript from Halk TV. Indeed it is this very scorpion which is to turn the entire region upside down if it weren’t to be unanimously fought against and eliminated.
