Σε συνέντευξη που παραχώρησε στο αλ Μανάρ, το τηλεοπτικό κανάλι της λιβανικής οργάνωσης Χεζμπολάχ, ο Άσαντ ρωτήθηκε αν θέτει όρους για να συμμετάσχει σε συνομιλίες. «Η μοναδική προϋπόθεση είναι οτιδήποτε συμφωνηθεί να τεθεί στην κρίση της συριακής κοινής γνώμης σε δημοψήφισμα», απάντησε.
Ο Σύρος πρόεδρος ισχυρίστηκε ότι στη χώρα του «υπάρχει πραγματικά μια λαϊκή πίεση» προκειμένου να ανοίξει το μέτωπο του Γκολάν με το Ισραήλ που έχει καταλάβει την περιοχή αυτή από το 1967. «Υπάρχει μια σαφής λαϊκή πίεση για να ανοίξει αυτό το μέτωπο αντίστασης (κατά του Ισραήλ) (...). Ευθύνονται πολλοί παράγοντες για αυτό, όπως οι επαναλαμβανόμενες ισραηλινές επιθέσεις», πρόσθεσε.
Ο Άσαντ δήλωσε «πολύ αισιόδοξος» για τη νίκη του στρατού του απέναντι στους αντάρτες. «Υπάρχει ένας παγκόσμιος πόλεμος κατά της Συρίας και της πολιτικής αντίστασης (σ.σ. Συρία, Ιράν και Χεζμπολάχ) όμως είμαστε πολύ αισιόδοξοι για τη νίκη», είπε. Αναφερόμενος στις προεδρικές εκλογές του 2014, δήλωσε ότι θα είναι και πάλι υποψήφιος, εφόσον τον θέλει ο λαός. «Το ζήτημα αυτό θα αποφασιστεί την κατάλληλη στιγμή (...) εάν αισθανθώ ότι υπάρχει ανάγκη να είμαι υποψήφιος, και αυτό θα αποφασιστεί αφού συμβουλευτώ το λαό, δεν θα διστάσω να το κάνω», πρόσθεσε.
Σχετικά με τις στρατιωτικές συμφωνίες που είχε υπογράψει η Δαμασκός με τη Μόσχα πριν ξεσπάσουν οι συγκρούσεις, είπε ότι η Ρωσία θα τις τηρήσει. Στην ερώτηση του δημοσιογράφου για την παράδοση των αντιαεροπορικών συστημάτων S-300 είπε: «Οι συμβάσεις με τη Ρωσία δεν συνδέονται με την κρίση και η Ρωσία δεσμεύεται να εφαρμόσουν αυτές τις συμφωνίες».
"Ό,τι συμφωνήσαμε με τη Ρωσία θα γίνει και ένα μέρος από αυτά γίνεται ήδη», πρόσθεσε.

Assad vague on delivery of Russian missiles...
ReplyDeleteEarlier reports erroneously cited Syrian president specifying his country had already received a first shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft systems...
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad said in a TV interview broadcast Thursday that Russia has fulfilled some of its weapons contracts recently, but was vague on whether this included advanced S-300 air defense systems.
Assad’s actual comments differed from excerpts the TV station conducting the interview had sent to reporters in a text message on Thursday morning.
In that message, the Al-Manar station owned by the Lebanese militia Hezbollah quoted Assad as saying Syria had already received a first shipment of such missiles. The Associated Press called Al-Manar after receiving the text message, and an official at the station said the message had been sent based on Assad’s comments.
In the interview, Assad was asked about the S-300s, but his answer was general.
He said that Russia’s weapons shipments are not linked to the Syria conflict. “We have been negotiating with them about different types of weapons for years and Russia is committed to Syria to implement these contracts,” he said.
“All we have agreed on with Russia will be implemented and some of it has been implemented recently, and we and the Russians continue to implement these contracts,” he said.
Assad also said that his forces will respond to any future Israeli strike on his country.......http://www.timesofisrael.com/assad-vague-on-delivery-of-russian-missiles/

Syrie : Assad conditionne la paix à un référendum dans un pays en guerre.....
ReplyDeleteLes conditions pour l'organisation d'une éventuelle conférence internationale afin de trouver une issue politique à la guerre en Syrie se compliquent de jour en jour. Le président syrien, Bachar Al-Assad, dont le régime a dit qu'il participerait à cette conférence dite de "Genève 2", a déclaré que toute décision qui y serait prise devrait être approuvée par référendum, alors que le pays est ravagé par la guerre.
"La seule condition, c'est que tout ce qui sera mis en œuvre soit soumis à l'opinion publique syrienne et à un référendum syrien", a déclaré le président syrien sur les ondes de la chaîne du Hezbollah, Al-Manar. M. Assad, qui a assuré qu'il serait candidat à la présidentielle de 2014 "si le peuple le veut", a dit que son régime était "très confiant dans sa victoire" dans la "guerre mondiale menée contre la Syrie". ......http://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2013/05/30/syrie-assad-conditionne-la-paix-a-un-referendum-dans-un-pays-en-guerre_3421436_3218.html#ens_id=1481132&xtor=RSS-3208

From the text of the interview with Al-Manar TV station, Assad added: "even in the Arab world there is readiness to join the fight against Israel."
Speaking on the delivery of S-300 missiles from Syria, Assad said that Russia is "committed to the deal and neither [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu's visit nor the current crisis will influence the importing of arms."

Al-Manar/Assad: Hezbollah Is Fighting Israeli Enemy, Its Agents in Syria, Lebanon....
ReplyDeleteQuestion # 1: We are now in the People's Palace. Two years on the Syrian crisis and the bet was that the president, the regime will be ousted within weeks. How did you frustrate the enemies and opponents' schemes? What is the secret of this steadfastness?
Answer: There is a Syrian side which frustrated the scheme, and there is a side related to the planners who frustrated themselves. They frustrated themselves first by their ignorance of the Syrian situation and not reading the Syrian situation accurately, so they began at first with the revolution's titles. But a revolution needs objective factors, it cannot be introduced with money, so they failed in attaining these circumstances which pave the way for a real revolution.
They moved to posing sectarian concepts and symbols in order to create a rift in the Syrian society. They succeeded in penetrating some of the angles in the Syrian society, and these are present in any society, the angles of ignorance and unawareness. But the outcome was that they failed in creating a real rift. If this actually took place, Syria would have been divided since the beginning.
They used another title which they fell in its trap, it was that what happened was a struggle for staying in office. In reality, it was clear that the case was not related to an office, and that the battle was the battle of a nation not of an office. Nobody fights and gets martyred in order for someone to stay in office.
Question # 2: In the battle of a country Mr. President, the Syrian leadership seems after two years and a half to be advancing on ground, and here lies the question. Why after two years and a half, you chose to shift from the state of defense to the state attack, and don’t you think that you were late in taking the decision of attacking, hence the cost was high like the case in Al-Qusayr?
Answer: In our defense or attack, we did not rely on the military tactic used separately in small battles. We were dealing with the situation, not only through the military aspect, but through several aspects, such as the political and social.
Many Syrians were deceived at the beginning. Many friendly countries did not realize the problem. Internally, it wasn’t possible to act in the same way while there wasn’t consensus about a certain cause. Undoubtedly, development of events helped the Syrians to realize what was taking place, to realize the truth, and this helped the Armed Forces more in performing their duties and achievements. What is taking place today is not a shift from defense to attack, but a shift in the balance of power for the benefit of the Armed Forces.......http://www.almanar.com.lb/english/adetails.php?eid=95690&cid=23&fromval=1
