Bašir al-Asad "ne bo podlegel zunanjim pritiskom"

Sirski predsednik Bašir al-Asad je za rusko televizijo dejal, da ne bo podlegel zunanjim pritiskom, temveč naj o njegovem vladanju odločijo Sirci.

Asad je bil 2014 ponovno izvoljen z 88,7% glasov, toda volitve, kakor trdi opozicija, niso bile kredibilne, saj niso potekale po celi Siriji; opozicija se sklicuje tudi na kaos državljanske vojne.

Sirski predsednik za več kot štiri milijone sirskih beguncev obtoži "terorizem".

#Syria: #Assad to #Russian media: The #West cries over the refugees and, by supporting terrorism, opens fire on the same refugees

Speaking to #Russia media #Assad says "terrorism" to blame for #refugeecrisis & not his own regime as claimed by "Western propaganda" #Syria
