Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad had a lengthy interview with Syrian Ikhbariya News Channel on the occasion of Syria’s Independence Day 17 April, 2013.

Interview full transcript translation: Presenter: Welcome Mr. President on the Syrian Ikhbariya News Channel President Assad: You’re welcome and I welcome the Syrian News Channel (Ikhbariya TV) Presenter: Greeting Mr. President, we are now living the joy of Independence Day. What can you tell and address the Syrian people with today, in such a day, especially with events Syria is going through? President Assad: It’s natural to link Independence Day with the foreign forces from the homeland, from any homeland, but the first question we ask in such circumstances, and the Arabian circumstances preceding this crisis, what if the colonialist left and took with him sovereignty and (independent) decision? Independence will have no value. The real independence is when the colonialist leaves the land and we retrieve sovereignty, with all the meanings of this word. If there was an occupied land but a free people is much better than having liberated land and people without sovereignty and a state without national (independent) decision, this is how we should understand independence in its full meaning. And I believe that Syria, in such circumstances this occasion is now passing by, is exposed to a new colonization attempt by all means ... Read More »
On the eve of the Syrian Independence Day, the Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad issues a general amnesty to all crimes committed before today 16 April 2013. The amnesty, the 6th within the past 2 years during the existing bloody crisis Syria is going through, is yet another effort by the Syrian president to allow more of the misguided and those involved in riots to get back to their normal lives and secure their own futures instead of continuing in a criminal path that leads to further deaths and destruction in their own country. Syria has been witnessing an unprecedented foreign intervention since March 2011 disguised under ‘public uprising’ in the infamous Arab Spring wave that saw the remove of secular governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen and replacing them with Western backed anti-Islamic Islamist fanatic and radical puppet regimes, leading to deterioration in freedoms and rights and the largest damages to the economies of the targeted countries. Some in the west brainwashed by the intensified mainstream propaganda still think it was a public uprising to earn more rights! The Arab Spring chapter in Syria, described once by former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice as ‘Creative Chaos’ has caused the deaths of 70,000 civilians so far by disputed and discredited UN figures, the displacement of millions of Syrians internally and across the borders, the systematic destruction of the once self-efficient economy of Syria before the current crisis. Presidential decree number 23 today has reduced considerably the punishment of crimes related to the ... Read More »

A Syrian’s Perspective: Bashar al-Assad’s Democratic Movement Bashar al-Assad has recently been demonized by the mainstream and so-called alternative media who claim that he is a brutal dictator. Actually Bashar is a reformer who has done much to further the causes of democracy and freedom. It is the opposition and their foreign supporters who represent the most repressive elements of the former ruling party in Syria. To fully understand this its is helpful to look at the historical context of the current crisis. The so-called “spontaneous popular uprising” started in Daraa on March 15th, 2011. The court house, police stations, governor’s house, and other public buildings were looted and torched by the “peaceful protestors” in the first week of the crisis. The people in Homs then began to protest in solidarity with Daraa, but this was uncharacteristic of peaceful Homs and many Syrians knew that it was a fake revolution. Read More »
