Assad accuses Saudi Arabia and Qatar: The situation in Syria was...

The Syrian President, Bashar Al-Assad, confirmed that the situation in Syria was “very dangerous”, before the start of the Russian operations in 2015, accusing a number of countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, of supporting terrorists in his country.

In an interview with the Russian “Zvezda” channel, published today, Sunday, in response to a question about the situation in Syria in 2015, Al-Assad said: “If I wanted to shorten the situation at that time, I can say that it was very dangerous, as the terrorists were advancing in different areas in Syria.” And they occupy cities with direct support from the United States, from France, from Britain, from Qatar, from Saudi Arabia, in addition to indirect support from Western countries or the Western group in general. ”

He continued: “The situation in Syria, which I described as dangerous, was the focus of discussion between us and the Russian military and political leadership, especially after the arrival of ISIS in 2014 and its occupation of large areas in the Syrian desert, and of course we hoped that there would be assistance for several reasons.”

He explained: “The first reason is that the political position of Syria is an important site, and therefore any defect in this region will spread in the whole region of the Middle East and be reflected in other regions, and the conflict over Syria is prehistoric, because of its importance, and it is not something new.”

Al-Assad continued: “The other reason is that the terrorism that Syria was fighting was the same terrorism that kidnapped children in the Beslan school in 2004, and the same terrorism that entered the theater and killed innocent people. If it is global terrorism, then it is in Russia’s interest first to strike this terrorism in Syria.” And secondly, to maintain this stability, which may affect the interests of other countries, including the interest of Russia. ”
