Асад: последним козырем Эрдогана является Алеппо

“The Turks and their allies the Saudis and Qataris have spent most of their resources on the battlefields in Syria, so the last trump for them, especially for Erdogan remains of Aleppo. That’s why he tries so hard with the Saudis to send as many terrorists: their number is estimated at 5 thousand people”,

Assad was quoted by newspaper Kommersant.

 

“In the last two months, Turkey has scores of militants in the direction of Aleppo that they recaptured the city, but it’s not helping. In fact, our army makes the offensive in Aleppo province and the suburbs of its capital, to surround the terrorists. It is then possible to either negotiate for the return of radicals to a normal life within the framework of reconciliation or escape from terrorists or they lose. There are no other options”, he said.

According to the President, the UN virtually has no involvement in settling the Syrian crisis – instead, there is a Russian-American dialogue.

“We know that the Russians are genuinely and diligently working to defeat the terrorists, while the Americans are playing their game, trying to use terrorists, not to defeat them,” he said, adding that Syria no matter who wins the presidential elections in America.

“The lesson we learned – no one should rely on any American President. All of them are going to war, the only difference is the method. Some send their armies, like George Bush, and others send their mercenaries and stooges like Barack Obama,” – said Assad.

He also said that “maintains “good relations with the opposition inside Syria.”

“Of course, they have their own political agenda and their views, but we can maintain dialogue, both directly and through the ballot box. However, they can not be compared with the opposition based outside Syria, because the word “opposition” means the peace process and not support terrorists and living abroad without submission of “initiatives from below”, emanating from the Syrian people. Otherwise, such a person is called a traitor”, – concluded the President of Syria.
