Syria’s Tolerance of Ceasefire Violations has Limitations: President Assad

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of Syria says the country’s army has tolerated breaches of the ceasefire but warned that there are "limits" to its tolerance.
He noted that terrorists breached the cessation of hostilities agreement from the very first hour, while the Syrian Army has refrained from retaliating.
In an interview given to ARD German television, President Assad answered a question on what Syria is doing to make the cessation of hostilities agreement stable, saying that terrorists breached the agreement from the very first hour, while the Syrian Army has refrained from retaliating in order to give the chance for the agreement to survive, adding “That’s what we can do, but at the end everything has a limit. It depends on the other side.”
In response to a question by the journalist who asked what a rebel who is not a terrorist of ISIS or al-Nusra should do so that he will be accepted as a Syrian civilian again, President Assad said “Just to give up your armament, whether you want to join the political process or not interested about the political process, you don’t have any political agenda, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing for me, legally and constitutionally, and basing on the interest of the Syrian people and the principle of any state that you’re not allowed, as a citizen, to hold machine guns and hurt people or properties. This is the only thing that we ask. We don’t ask for anything. As I said, we give them full amnesty, and that happened, and they joined the Syrian Army, and some of them joined political life.”
In response to a question on whether the Syrian government appreciates the role of Germany in hosting Syrian refugees, President Assad said “From a humanitarian point of view, of course, let’s say. We cannot say that it’s not good to accept refugees that left their country because of the hardship in this country. But wouldn’t it be more humanitarian to help those people stay in their country? So, wouldn’t it be less costly to adopt, or to undertake, let’s say, more wiser and prudent policies regarding the crisis in Syria, to keep those people living in their country through working against the terrorism, working to provide stability, not interfering in their issues. This would be more humanitarian.”
The Syria ceasefire went into effect on February 27. It was brokered by the United States and Russia and backed by the United Nations.
The two week truce does not apply to ISIS, al-Nusra Front or “other terrorist organizations” designated by the UN.
Since 2011, at least 470,000 Syrians have been killed in the five years of civil war in the country while another 70,000 have died due to a lack of basics such as clean water and healthcare. Millions of others have been displaced by the deadly conflict.
The Syrian government blames the United States along with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and the Israeli regime for backing terrorist groups which have been attempting overthrow the Damascus government since 2011.
