Here’s what Bashar al-Assad has to say about ‘de-escalation zones’ in Syria
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has given an interview in which he explained his support for the so-called ‘de-escalation’ zones established in the recent Astana Memorandum.
Assad said that the primary goal of the Syrian government is now as it always has been, the cessation of violence and bloodshed in the country.
This statement echoes remarks by Syrian political commentator Afraa Dagher who defined this widespread Syrian sentiment in a recent interview with The Duran.
