SyrianPresident Bashar al-Assad has said that his government knows that Turkey playedrole in killing of Syrian people. He blames this on ‘some individuals’ inTurkish present government, after whom Syrian-Turkish relations would improve.

According to Mehr News Agency,Syrian President Bashar al-Assad presented his opinions on Syrian crisis andthe future developments.

* Erdoğan's government transitory;our ties with Turkish nation solid

Toa question on Syrian government policies on financial, political and weaponrysupports by some countries for Syrian opposition fighters, and terrorist groupscoming and going to these countries, Assad said that " some neighboringcountries standing with us may not protect their borders with Syria to cut flowof weapons and fighters to Syria. Some ignore what happens in their borders,and some others directly intervene.”

"Weshould distinguish between the countries and their nations. The question iswhat should be our position toward their nations or governments. Should wetolerate and keep ties or resort to taking revenge? For example, Turkishgovernment position on Syria is clear. Turkey has directly intervened inkilling Syrian people. When we took a policy of mutual relations, we did notsee it in terms of individual statesmen. Individuals come and go.”

"Wesee our 9 decades of crisis-prone relations with Turkey and, determined tocontinue current stability, will not return our policies to the past forignorance of some politicians in Turkey.”

"Syriahighly evaluates relations with Turkish nation. They have expressed theirsupport for us since the outbreak of crisis, and have not swerved from theirdirect path under the impact of media propaganda, and costly campaigns.”

"Wemust think for nations, since governments are transitory. So, we should notreact before enough thinking, since nations would be our supporters, and anygovernment lacking popular legitimacy, would remain weak.”

*Israelis and Terrorists; two sides of a coin

"Armiesin the world support the countries. This is not only against foreign invasions,but includes insider attacks. Any enemy in any region inside should be foughtagainst, especially army and the military forces should fight. The enemy thistime has launched a conspiracy from inside, not outside borders,” Assadasserted. "Any Syrian working for the enemy would be enemy itself, and thelaw would try any spying people, and execute them. When before the court, theissue may be no longer emotional. Any Syrian working for enemies is enemy,since the enemy is inside, our army has moved inside the country.”

Onthe question that this attitude may damage the role of Syria in Resistancefront, Assad said that "currently, Syria is implementing Resistanceideology. Some would say if Syria moves in line with Resistance front, whywould it act in Golan Heights? In response, I would say that ‘resistance’ wouldbe breached when the government abandons its task of stabilizing the situationinside, but it has not happened yet in Syria, but in Lebanon it did happen dueto war with Israel and the absence of the state. In these situations,resistance was a duty. Whenever army and government do not accept theirresponsibilities, Resistance will enter the fore in Syria.”

Theinterviewer then asked President Assad that "some say that Syriandevelopments were totally peaceful in its initial 5 months, and then it becamearmed clash. Some others quoted you saying that after Ramadan, the situationhad become armed confrontation. What do you think of it?”

Assadrejected such interpretation and asserted that "for a simple reason, it ismisguided. If Syrian developments were not armed confrontation, then how didSyrian army have several soldiers dead in first week? Soldiers would not diejust due to people’s cries. This is not true. They were killed by armedforces.”

Healso believed that the initial objective for providing support for oppositionwas to create tensions between army and Syrian public, to incite the army tokill more people, and spreading hate for the government forces among thepublic. After failure in this, in Ramadan, terrorists launched militarycampaigns to take strongholds in order to prevent Syrian government forces toenter such regions as Bab Amr. After that their strongholds were destroyed in BabAmr and other regions they thought of as secure for them, they changed theirstrategy and assassinated the citizens.”

Assadpointed to sabotage operations by the armed rebels such as blockading theconnection roads, people’s daily needs such as bread, and exploding gaspipelines, saying that the developments were military from the beginning."We bring the witness pictures that the armed rebels kill the people, butthey have rejected our claims, "he said. http://www.yjc.ir/en/news/8/syria-to-save-ties-with-turkish-nation-erdoğan-govt-‘transitory’
