There are still other terrorist groups like al-Nusra and many others and with Western baking, added H.E. President Assad.

In reply to another question, President Assad blasted some sides in the foreign backed oppositions as dancing to the music of those who pay more of dollars, once paid a one-dollar banknote would give a certain voice, and once paid a 10 dollar banknote would give multi voices with different tunes.
“France spearheaded supporting terrorism in Syria and is involved in shedding the Syrian blood, and we see no drastic change in the position of France; so the French are not in a position to evaluate a supposed to be peace conference and those who support terrorism have no right to talk about peace. Not to mention the fact that they basically have no right to interfere in the Syrian affair. All of the statements by the French are for us nothingness and out of our interest,” in reply to a question said H.E. President Assad.
