“To be honest, my chest tightens in this palace. I'm astonished by how much evil against society emanated from every corner. I have a balcony that overlooks Damascus. When I look at Damascus every day, I say: how could the previous regime look at Damascus and feel comfortable with what was happening there.”

“We will not be a pawn. Nor will we be a fortress. We will be a state that governs with legitimacy, not just control. We want the U.S. to partner with us in governance, in anti-corruption, in building institutions based on honesty and integrity.”

“I accepted it because Syria must turn the page. And I would rather help write that history with others than watch it be torn apart again. We have no option but to succeed. We must make Syria great again.”

“The Syrian problem has lasted for 14 years. There has been a lot of suffering and many attempts to fix things in Syria, but the UN and the international community have failed in bringing about the release of a single prisoner, in these 14 years. They have failed to bring back a single refugee, or to persuade the regime to accept even the minimal political solution, even though it served the interests of the regime. The Syrian people saved themselves by themselves, so I am asking not to burden them with frozen resolutions, which will only increase their suffering and bring them back to square one. What is the goal? The verbatim implementation of this resolution, or the benefit that was gained from this resolution?”

“The Kurds are part of our people. They were oppressed, just like we were, and it is our duty to protect and defend them, and to let them return to some villages from which they were displaced during the period of the revolution. This is our duty. On the basis of these principles... With regard to the militants in northeast Syria – all the weapons should be held exclusively by the state. Militants who are qualified to join the Ministry of Defense will be welcome there. On the basis of these terms and principles, we will open negotiations track with SDF, and inshallah, we will find a suitable solution through dialogue.”

“To the defiant Syrian people, I stand before you today with a heart filled with hope and determination, directing my speech to all Syrian men and women, to those who live in the displacement camps, to the internally displaced and the refugees, to the injured and wounded, to the families of the martyrs and the missing, to the revolutionary activists who dedicated their life to struggle for Free Syria. I stand before you today 54 days after we were all liberated and Syria was liberated from the bonds of a criminal regime that oppressed us for decades. 54 days have passed since the disappearance of 54 years of the darkest forms of dictatorial rule in the history of Syria and the entire world. Syria was liberated by God’s grace first, then by the grace of every person who strove on the inside and the outside. Every person who sacrificed his life and blood, and his home and wealth, and his peace and security.”

“From here, I address you today in my capacity as president of Syria in this fateful period, asking God to grant us all success so we can revive our homeland, and overcome the challenges that we are facing, and that will only be through all standing together in people and leadership. I address you today not as a ruler but as a servant for our wounded homeland, striving with all power and will I have been given to realise Syria’s unity and renaissance, as we should all understand that this is a transitional stage, and it is part of a political process that requires true participation by all Syrian men and women, inside and outside the country, so that we can build their future with freedom and dignity, without marginalisation or sidelining.”

“First of all, Syria was under the control of the previous regime for 54 years. During these 54 years, Syria went through many disasters. Syria has retreated regionally on the level of the development of human resources, the level of economy, and also the level of political relationships with neighbouring countries. Previously Syria was a source of concern for all neighbouring countries. At the same time, it was not fulfilling its basic duties towards the people. The most important thing for the previous regime was to maintain power and to use security methods to remain in power. The security method means torture, as you have seen in Saydnaya prison, and arresting and beating people, and when people revolted against him, he used chemical weapons, explosive bombs, and other methods.”

“The Syrian context is exceptional, and each country goes through a peculiar situation. Political solutions should be born from the events taking place, so importing political experiences and applying them to the Syrian context, I believe, is not a correct policy. I have read history from all contexts: Arabic, International, and Islamic; and from all places: East, West, North, and South. We tried to benefit from all that has taken place in the world to take lessons from all that happened, especially the past hundred years that included events such as WWI and WWII. In addition, the Arab region has been through a lot of trouble. Hence, the region is rich with lessons, and history is full of lessons. We will benefit from all that, and we will try to have an independent personality in studying matters, in addition to benefiting from other countries’ experiences. All the figures you have mentioned were successful in running their countries, but the Syrian context is different.”
