President Assad interview with RT: 'West is telling Russia we went too far in defeating terrorists' in Aleppo


In an interview to RT, the Syrian President warned against taking statements by western governments at face value, as in Aleppo, they seemed to care more about saving terrorists than civilians. He also slammed the lackluster reaction to ISIS's onslaught on Palmyra.

President Bashar Assad sat down for an interview with RT's Maria Finoshina as the war in Syria has hit a new critical point with the Syrian Army's liberation of Aleppo and Islamic State's (IS, ISIS/ISIL) return to Palmyra. Here's a fragment of the interview, which is to be exclusively aired on RT on Wednesday.
RT: Palmyra is another troubled region now, and it's now [being] taken by ISIS, but we don't hear a lot of condemnation about it.
President Assad: Exactly, because if it was captured by the government they would be worrying about the heritage. If we liberate Aleppo from the terrorists, the western officials and the mainstream media, they are going to be worrying about the civilians. They do not worry when the opposite happens, when the terrorists are killing those civilians or attacking Palmyra and destroying the human heritage, not only the Syrian heritage.
