Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: The conclusion I drew from Iraq was that we must not transfer Iraq's reality to Syria. Every country has its own circumstances and its own problems. What I learned from Iraq was that the conflicts, divisions, and sectarian strife that consumed Iraq should never be repeated in Syria.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: I believe there are universal principles that people should believe in—serving others, defending them, and lifting injustice. These are universal values. Islam encourages them, and so do all the world's religions. But choosing a particular path built around a collection of ideas created by human beings—and treating those ideas as if they were sacred, almost replacing religion itself—is something I reject. There must always be room for independent judgment. Th

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: Military action is only one tool—it is not everything. When you're dealing with a reality like the one Syria faced, military force alone is never enough. You also need a media strategy. You need public opinion. You need the ability to administer public affairs. You need to build institutions. You need an economy. You need development.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: I had certainty that this regime would fall. Our duty was to take every possible means to achieve that. I constantly reviewed the battles we had lost against the regime, and I found that the causes often lay within the revolutionary ranks themselves. Despite the regime's strength and Russian intervention, many of the problems were our own. So we worked to correct them. One of the most important lessons I adopted was this: I never repeat the same mistake twi
