Russian President Vladimir Putin said the
Syrian people must decide their own future without intervention from outside powers, during an interview with
US television talk show host
Charlie Rose in Novo-Ogaryovo, Sunday.
SOT,
Journalist Charlie Rose, (
English +
French translation also provided): "So you would like to join with the
United States in the fight against
ISIS; that's part of why you're there.
Others think that while that might be part of your goal, you are trying to save the Assad administration because they have been losing ground and the war has not been going well for them; and you are there to rescue them."
SOT, Vladimir Putin,
President of Russia (
Russian + French translation also provided): "That’s right, that’s how it is. We provide assistance to the legitimate
Syrian authorities. Moreover, I strongly believe that by acting otherwise, acting to destroy the legitimate bodies of power, we would create a situation that we are witnessing today in other countries of the region or in other regions of the world, for instance, in
Libya, where all state institutions have completely disintegrated.
Unfortunately, we are witnessing a similar situation in
Iraq. There is no other way to settle the
Syrian conflict other than by strengthening the existing legitimate government agencies, support them in their fight against terrorism and, of course, at the same time encourage them to start a positive dialogue with the 'healthy' part of the opposition and launch political transformations."
SOT, Journalist Charlie Rose, (English + French translation also provided): "As you know, some of the coalition partners want to see
President al-Assad go first before they will support."
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian + French translation also provided): "I would like to advise or recommend them to forward this suggestion to the Syrian people. It is only up to the Syrian people living in
Syria to determine who, how and based on what principles their country should be ruled."
