Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: The media must always be, as you know, characterized by independence and the credibility of the news. This is the most important thing — to approach events from multiple perspectives and provide analysis of the ongoing developments.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: Economic integration between us and the Arab countries is something necessary, and it is separate from what is happening in Hormuz. A rational mind always looks for multiple secure routes. It does not make sense for trade between the East and the West in the world to depend on only one route. We must use all available routes. I believe that after the new situation in Syria, a suitable environment has been created for connecting the land routes and transportat

This was something we were monitoring from the very first moment, as well as the behavior of those working in the revolution — from the military and others. We would perhaps sit with the military groups before the beginning of the battle; 70% of the discussion was only about the method of dealing with people, and 30% was about the military plans and how to organize them.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: There was a fear that events would move toward a path of revenge and similar things. One of the objectives was to advise people not to let the euphoria of joy take them toward situations of revenge, especially in areas that had suffered great harm, such as the city of Hama and others.
