Bashar Al-Assad interview to Al-Jazeera.

On the contrary to the official media says in Egypt Bashar Al Assad stole the lights in the opening of the Union for the Mediterranean and the Bastille Day, he was the star and the guest of honour after all he owns many cards that make him powerful on the negotiations table.

Beside Lebanon and the fantastic breakthrough that happened in Paris and beside the promise of having  indirect talks with Israel. Still the big card is Iran. Regardless to what you think Syria turned to be holding very important card for Europe. Europe is ready to deal with Bashar Al-Assad the dictator if he can be their peace messenger to Tehran.

Bashar Al Assad made an exclusive TV interview to Al Jazeera Channel. It is very very interesting. He covered very important topics as usual and he spoke frankly as usual.

• The relations between Egypt and Saudi Arabia are not good at all. “Hopefully this was before the dinner Mubarak invited Bashar to”
• There is nothing he called a normalization of relations between Syria and Israel in case of Peace , there is something called normal relations which can be close relations or cold relations.
• He attacked the U.S and the Bush administration.
• Europe and the international community do not comment on the Syrian record of human rights because it is an internal issue “well this is not the full truth , it is because they do not want to upset while they need you ;p”

I expressed my admiration several times here about Bashar Al Assad talking skills, this tall man is insisting on impressing me every time he opens his mouth despite the fact he is freaking dictator and the son of freaking dictator, despite the fact I attack him and his regime in my blog , but truth is truth.

Syria internally is dictatorship but their foreign policy is great.

Here is the interview in Arabic.
