Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syria's Assad says US, French, Turks, Israeli troops are occupying forces

[PRESSTV] Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs...
says that the American, French, Ottoman Turkish and Israeli troops present in his country are occupying forces.

Assad made the remarks on Wednesday during an interview with the al-Alam News Network, where he stressed that Syria's position is to support "any act of resistance, whether against forces of Evil or against occupying forces regardless of their nationality."

Referring to the presence of fighters of the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah in Syria, Assad said that "the battle is long and the need for these military forces will continue for a long time."

He also stressed that there are no Iranian military bases in Syria, but Damascus will not hesitate to allow them if there is a need.

Assad also noted that it is not yet decided how the situation in Syria's bad boy-held southwest will be resolved.

"We are giving the political process a chance. If that doesn't succeed, we have no other option but to liberate it by force," he said.

In an earlier interview with the Daily Mail, Assad accused the West of fueling the crisis in his country in an attempt to oust his government.

"We are fighting the terrorists, and those forces of Evil are supported by the British government, the French government, the Americans and their puppets whether in Europe
...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
or in our region," he said.

"The whole approach toward Syria in the West is, ’We have to change this government, we have to demonize this president, because they don’t suit our policies anymore.’" Assad said.
