Bashar Al Assad: “This is all Russia's fault. They've got Syrian blood on their hands. This is all their fault.”

We don't kill our people. Nobody kill -- no government in the world kill its people, unless it's led by a crazy person.

We will not stop this revolution. This revolution will go onto the end. It's either us or him.

The State Department has called on Assad to end his assault against the Syrian people, singling out Matar as a champion of peace, committed to confronting the regime's, quote, "despicable violence."

The president promised us reforms. God willing, they will come soon. I mean, these reforms are for the citizens, and they have been well received.
