Mr. President Bashar al-Assad in an interview with the Sunday Times of London published in late Saturday to Sunday night 11/20/2011 that "the conflict will continue and the pressure will continue to subjugate Syria," Syria would not yield. "Assad reiterated his assertion that any military action is done against Syria would create "an earthquake" across the Middle East.

This is part of the text:
Mr. President: Do you think or believe that the reaction of security officers and the army of protesters were harsh or too aggressive at times.
Assad: The status of a harsh or aggressive term is subject to debate, but let's talk about that the government has no policy to treat the security men and police, the demonstrators are harsh or aggressive, because all of our policies in the previous decade were built on the basis of the support people have, so it cannot to build a policy against the people. But if there is any events committed by some individuals in certain cases will be investigated by a committee we formed several months ago. But when there is instability, there will be potential for mistakes and problems in the street.
Mr. President: But the number of people killed in a large number of recent events and this means that the military option or security does not work, are there other ways you have?.
Assad: When we talk about killing must ask the killing of 800 officers from the police, security and the army in the street, so we're not talking about peaceful demonstrations, but rather a militia. And when there will be no militias killed, so it is the duty of the government to fight these militias to protect civilians and stabilize, and not let them do what they like and talk about the murder, and this is what we do.
Mr. President: What is a father or as a citizen when you see the Syrians are killed or die in their own country?
Assad: I feel sadness and sympathy with their families, but the important thing is that I can do and not what I can feel it, what can I do to protect them and protect others from the Syrians killed by the militias.
Mr. President: What are you doing to protect civilians?
Assad: We will make this fighting the militias to prevent them from continuing in their work against civilians and that's our focus now. We have to stop the flow of arms to them from across the border and prevent the arrival of money for them.
Mr. President: To what extent will Thmon your country, you will accept to resign and give up the presidency if necessary to maintain this is your country?
Assad: There is no limits for anything required to maintain the country, not on my own that serves me, but the contrary I should Okhaddmh, the problem is not around me, but rather is about Syria, the problem is not the president now, but in the stability of Syria and the unity of Syria. If the President will promote the survival and unity of the country must be kept and if it divides the country should go, this is the principle. Most Syrians united, but what is happening now is because of the few militias that kill civilians, and international interventions.
Mr. Chairman: What about the public sector, which demands Brahilk and the departure of the system also has the right not to express his opinion.
Assad: Sure, but through elections, there will be parliamentary elections in February next, and there will be a new government, and there will be a new constitution and this constitution will set the foundations of the election of the President and thus can go to the polls and participate in expressing their opinion.

DAMASCUS, (SANA)- Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Muallim on Sunday said the draft protocol presented to Syria by the Arab League (AL) includes items that reflect unbalanced stances taken by member states of the AL and its ministerial committee since the crisis began in Syria.
Al-Muallim added in a press conference that Syria has dealt with the issue with a positive spirit out of its keenness on continuing work within the frame of the Arab League, "although any protocol according to international norms is the result of the agreement between two parties and not dictated by one party on the other."
The Minister noted that Syria received on Saturday a letter from the AL Secretary General which said that the AL Secretariat General is not in the position to respond to the Syrian amendments.
The AL Secretary General's letter followed another letter previously sent by Syria two days before including proposed amendments to the AL draft protocol regarding the legal status and the tasks of the AL observer mission to be sent to Syria.
"The AL mission has the freedom of movement…We have not restricted its movement and we have nothing to hide at all….They have to see the crimes of killing and slaughter being perpetrated against our citizens and the law enforcement forces…What we asked for is to be informed of the places the mission will go to," said al-Muallim.
He added that "We in Syria don't consider that the time period needed by the AL mission to fulfill its task is the key issue but rather the content. If [their] intentions are good, they shouldn't adhere to the period…We care that the mission's tasks will be carried out well."
Minister al-Muallim said that there are Arab sides that want to use the Arab League as a tool to take the Syrian issue to the Security Council, adding "We want our people to be sure that we will work through every small window so as not to let the Arab League turn into a tool."
He stressed that the Syrian leadership's decision always stems from the pulse of the Syrian people, highlighting how the Syrians went out to the streets and squares in expression of their rejection of foreign interference and the Arab League's decisions against Syria.
"The problem in Syria can only be solved by the Syrians," said al-Muallim.
On Syria's response to the pressures on the Arab, Islamic and international levels, al-Muallim said that they are continuation to a series of pressures practiced against Syrian since the beginning of the crisis by countries like the US and the EU, in addition to the Arab states now.
"If fight was forced on us, we shall fight. But we hope and we are working so that fight wouldn't be forced on us," al-Mollaem said in an answer to a question, stressing that Syria "is not in need of any logistic support from any Arab country," and that Damascus is coordinating with the Russian friends at every step.
The Minister went on saying that "What is taking place in Syria is armed groups attacking the citizens, the law enforcement and army forces," stressing that the Syrian people are able to defend their homeland.
Asked on whether there will be a civil war in Syria, al-Muallim said "If you read the statements issued by the U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and her Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu, you feel that they are pushing towards the civil war they are warning of."
"There won't be a civil war no matter how much they try to create one…Our people can quell this sedition," al-Muallim affirmed, adding that it is the foreign sides' statements that are leading to the killing and further encouraging the armed groups to go on with their acts.
Whether the Syrian government will allow the opposition inside the country to accompany the Arab observers in case they come to Syria or not, the Minister said " that is the role and responsibility of Syria, no one can behave on behalf of it, but the observers can meet the opposition if they want."
On the Arab efforts' chance and whether the crisis in Syria will shift into internationalization or not, al-Muallim added "We will use all windows available in the Arab joint action, and we will repeat this till the Arabs say we don't want you in the League."
Minister al-Muallim said national dialogue is the main foundation for building Syria and a major necessity to draw up a common vision for Syria's future in a participatory way.
He added that dialogue should not be held only between the authority and the opposition as there is a third party that is much more important, which is the Syrian people who should be represented in this dialogue. "That is why dialogue should be held in Damascus," al-Muallim stressed.
He said that all who want to participate in this dialogue from the national opposition are welcomed.
In response about the murder and kidnapping of citizens in Homs, al-Muallim said that the stances of some western countries lead to these crimes because they encourage the criminals who perpetrate them, noting that these countries and the Arab League ignore the armed criminal groups who kill based on one's identity, stressing that there will not be a civil war no matter how much they try to start one.
Regarding news of the capture of scores of gunmen, al-Muallim confirmed this news which show the great numbers of these armed terrorists and their advanced weaponry, underlining the importance of the state maintaining the safety of the citizens.
On the Russian support for Syria, the Foreign Minister said that there's an old treaty between the two countries signed in 1980, noting that there is no state of war but rather Syria is practically facing armed groups assaulting people.
Regarding the Russian stance in case the Syrian issue becomes an international one, al-Muallim said that Syria coordinated with Russia in every step it took, adding that he wouldn't rush to discuss the Security Council while the issue is still within the framework of the Arab League.
As for the talk by some Turkish media on plans for establishing a no-fly zone or an isolation zone and why Syrian diplomacy is being calm, al-Muallim noted that the whole world saw how the excuse of imposing a no-fly zone on Libya to protect civilians turned out and how many victims fell because of it, adding "as for criticizing Syrian diplomacy, I accept that magnanimously and calmly… the role of diplomacy existed since the dawn of time, and I hope that the language of diplomacy remains prevalent."
On the statements of Israeli war minister Ehud Barak, the Foreign Minister said that Israel is an enemy who usurped Syria's lands and therefore Syria will not address this enemy, adding that these statements makes the people more committed to their leadership.
Regarding the stances of neighboring countries, some of which having received opposition figures, al-Muallim said that he personally isn't satisfied with their stances, adding that he cannot confirm or deny information he doesn't possess which the Jordanians themselves must either confirm or refute.
As for the government's efforts to engage the opposition in national dialogue, al-Muallim said efforts are being made in this regard, noting that there are various groups in the opposition; some of them want dialogue while others reject it, adding "what happened in Cairo when the Syrian delegation was assaulted shows that this opposition doesn't want dialogue."
On the fact that a Syrian youth delegation was attacked in Egypt by opposition from abroad, the Foreign Minister said that the delegation went to express a viewpoint to the Arab League General Secretariat that differs from the viewpoint of some who live permanently in Cairo,.
"However, the Arab League General Secretariat didn't receive them… they were received by sticks and stones from those who claim democracy and are afraid of hearing the other opinion. It's a clear indicator to the public opinion about who these people really are… what they did is a shameful thing."
