 Ribola Assad, thank you very much for coming to WPCTV. You are the cousin of Bashar al-Assad of Syria and also his opponent. So what is your vision for Syria and how do you expect, how do you hope to achieve it? Well, I think we are nearly at the fourth year now that this has been going on. We have warned of the catastrophic consequences that we are at today and unfortunately the world has not acted. We all know how the situation started and we all know that the people who went against the government in Syria, the uprising that was taken all over the Middle East was hijacked by Islamists and from Tunisia to Libya to Egypt and to Syria. Unfortunately in Syria there are a lot of forces, regional forces, who started competing for control over Syria. We have including Turkey, for example, who sees interest in Syria because they want to rebuild. Mr Erdogan wants to rebuild the Ottoman Empire and he needs Syria to access, as you know, to this other countries in the south. And you have on the other hand Iran that is also trying to control, to have certain control over the Middle East through the Shia Arabs. We also have some of our, I mean, Western allies in the region, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who are again competing, Qatar supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, as they did in Northern African countries, including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia. And they wanted to do the same thing in Syria, the aid of Turkey, of course. Saudi Arabia on the other hand has supported the Salafi groups, Salafi Wahhabi groups against the regime. And they have both kind of hijacked, really, and paid for those rebels, you know, who were actually very moderate at the beginning. Unfortunately, they started, you know, at the end of the day, people want money. There's a catastrophic situation in Syria and whoever gives those people money, they're willing to join whatever party, you know, the party that gives the most. A final question then. Have the Sykes-Picot lines, which are all created in Syria, have they now been basically erased because of the Islamic State? And how can the Islamic State, Daesh and Arabic, be defeated? I mean, the only way that we can defeat the Islamic State is that if we stand very strongly in the defense of our values, universal values of human rights and democracy, that's the only way. And we cannot have a duplicity in dealing with that or, you know, a hypocrisy that the West is going through at the moment, unfortunately, because of some economic reasons. We cannot be promoting our values in one country and, you know, completely ignorant in some others because today, you know, with alternative media, the Internet, TV, satellite TV station, people are able to see what's going on. And this is what actually has made our work for democracy and freedom in Syria and in the Middle East much, much harder. So if we go after the ISIS, we should not go only after the ISIS, Islamic State or ISIS because this is just a brand. We have to go after the ideology. This is the most important. You have al-Nusra. You have many other groups, the Muslim Brotherhood. They all believe in the same perverted ideology. It's to kill whoever does not share their perverted ideology and to have their caliphate state and the sharia law and should not be allowed and permitted to happen. Unfortunately, this coalition that has come together today to fight Islamic State, which I think it's very late, it's not doing a very good job. And I don't think it's going to be succeeding. Because you have heard lately there has been over 1,100 attacks with 950 deaths. So it's not very sustainable. It doesn't make sense either economically or either on the ground. It doesn't change things. I mean, for the little town of Kobani, for example, it has been over two months and they couldn't even liberate a small town of Kobani where the Syrian Kurdish town. And so it shows you how weak it is. And it shows you also how if you don't go after the people who are backing those groups, such as Turkey, such as some Gulf countries, if you don't go after them and tell them, yes, you are our allies. But if you are becoming a danger and a menace to our national security, this is a red line. It's a very sobering message. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.
