In the interview, the president reiterated that he is ready for a cease-fire, provided the terrorists,, , which he referred to the Syrian rebels, not to use the opportunity to strengthen their positions. Assad is particularly worried about the support given by the Turks to the rebels. By contrast, he mentioned the support he receives from Russia and Iran itself is essential.
