President Assad – the Opposition will export terror to Europe

In an interview with a German newspaper Syrian President Bashar al-Assad warned that western nations would pay a high price for supporting the Syrian opposition.
He noted that by arming the opposition – an amalgam of militias, several of which are believed to have links to al-Qaeda – Europe was setting itself up for more terror strikes on its grounds.

This remark came only days after the United States of American announced it would arm the Opposition and intensify its ground support in Syria against al-Assad regime.

The Syrian president strongly warned against such a policy , stressing that in essence Europe was training and arming tomorrow’s terrorists, something their nations will have to pay for many years to come.

In response to allegations made by France, the United Kingdom and the U.S that Syria is using chemical weapons against civilian population, President Assad responded, “If indeed they were holding such pieces of evidence, they would have made it public, they would have made it available for the whole world to see.”

The United States of America said that 100 to 150 people have died from the effects of neuro-agent – Sarin -, allegations President Assad has categorically rejected.

When asked why he refused to allow UN inspectors onto Syria to examine its weapon arsenal, President al-Assad explained that National Security has been and would continue to be his main objective, and that as such no one needed to know what weapons Syria has or does not have.

“Our Army, our secret, we will not allow anyone to see….” emphasized President al-Assad.

He added that he was still keen on a political solution and that he would happily resume negotiations.

In regards to his stepping down from the presidency, President al-Assad amde clear that he intended to retain his position as leader of Syria, just as a captain does not abandon ship when it hits stormy waters.
