04-13-2017 - President Assad Latest Interviewaudio EnglishOn 13 April 2017, President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Dr Bashar Al Assad gave this far reaching, logical and coherent interview with a (provocative!) western Journalist of Agence France-Presse (AFP).In particular, President Assad responds to the accusations that the Syrian government was responsible for a chemical attack against the Syrian People last week in Khan Shaikhoun.The alleged chemial attack was used, within hours, as a pretext for Tommahawk Cruise missile strikes by the US against a government airbase at Shayrat, located outside Homs.The US cruise missile strikes on Syria themselves, in international law, were unprovoked acts of terror, carried out by the US government against the government, army and people of a sovereign nation - Syria.Dr Assad demonstrates clearly that this was a totally fabricated story, stressing that Syria does not possess a chemical arsenal and that even when it had such an arsenal, it would not and did not use it.He made it clear that Syria can only allow any investigation in the Khan Sheikhoun incident when it’s impartial, pointing out that the United States and its proxies are not serious about achieving any political solution.The memory of such investigations (IAEA in Iraq!) being used to disarm victims of US invasion and attack are vivid and familiar. Wisely, the Syrian government does not intend to freely concede and give away such a false 'causus belli' - an excuse for the US to further escalate its propaganda and military war.Moreover, the US attack, in which cruise missiles rained on an airforce base in Syria, while illegal, was ineffectual, and did not diminish the Syrian Arab Army's ability to attack the IS and Al Queda terrorists - who from the beginning of the so called 'civil' war in Syria, have been agents and proxies of outside forces, principally the USA itself.
