Ahmed al-Sharaa Quotes

In our region, there are various definitions of democracy. If democracy means that the people decide who will rule them and who represents them in the parliament, then yes Syria is going in this direction.

I believe the people of each country are more entitled to stay in their country. Why should people be displaced? Displacing people is such a big crime rejected by the law. In addition, Syria has just come out of war, and it is suffering big burdens.

Dear Syrians, see how your name is once again mentioned at forums and how Syrians are now valued and respected, after having been pushed out the door, deprived of their rights and left to their fate of killing, displacement, and humiliation.

Any chaos in Syria will damage not just neighboring countries but the whole world.

The Syrian context is exceptional, and each country goes through a peculiar situation. Political solutions should be born from the events taking place, so importing political experiences and applying them to the Syrian context, I believe, is not a correct policy. I have read history from all contexts: Arabic, International, and Islamic; and from all places: East, West, North, and South. We tried to benefit from all that has taken place in the world to take lessons from all that happened, especially the past hundred years that included events such as WWI and WWII. In addition, the Arab region has been through a lot of trouble. Hence, the region is rich with lessons, and history is full of lessons. We will benefit from all that, and we will try to have an independent personality in studying matters, in addition to benefiting from other countries’ experiences. All the figures you have mentioned were successful in running their countries, but the Syrian context is different.

From the heart of Aleppo, I declare to the world that our war with tyrants has ended, and our battle against poverty has already begun.

The Kurds are part of our people. They were oppressed, just like we were, and it is our duty to protect and defend them, and to let them return to some villages from which they were displaced during the period of the revolution. This is our duty. On the basis of these principles... With regard to the militants in northeast Syria – all the weapons should be held exclusively by the state. Militants who are qualified to join the Ministry of Defense will be welcome there. On the basis of these terms and principles, we will open negotiations track with SDF, and inshallah, we will find a suitable solution through dialogue.

Those who believe that war permits moral corruption are mistaken, for power, wealth, and weapons lead to widespread tyranny if not governed by values and ethics. The essence of struggle is a battle between righthood and falsehood, good and evil, justice and oppression.

If arrogance consumes the victor, and he forgets the grace of God, he will be led to tyranny. Victory is not merely an achievement; it is a responsibility. The burden on the victorious is heavy, and their duty is immense.

By the grace of God, we broke the chains, freed the tormented, and wiped away the dust of humiliation from Damascus’s shoulders. The sun of Syria rose once more.

Oh people of Free Syria, building the homeland is the responsibility of all of us, and this is a call to all Syrians to participate in building a new homeland, in which there is rule through justice and consultation. Together, we will build the future Syria: the Syria that is the beacon of knowledge and progress, the refuge of security and stability, the Syria of comfort, progress and prosperity, the Syria that extends its hand with peace and respect, so that its people can return to a dignified noble homeland, which is prosperous, safe and secure by God’s permission.

Now, after all that has happened, sanctions must be lifted because they were targeted at the old regime. The victim and the oppressor should not be treated in the same way.

Syria was liberated by the martyrs, male and female detainees, men and women who were tortured, missing men and women, and all their nursing mothers and their oppressed people, because of all their sacrifices and your sacrifices I stand here today, so that together we can open a new chapter in the history of our beloved land.

We confirm that Syria is a state of law. The law will take its course on all. We fought to defend the oppressed, and we won't accept that any blood be shed unjustly, or goes without punishment or accountability, even among those closest to us.

Aleppo will be the greatest economic beacon.
