"Izgleda da naša vlada više voli biti prijatelj s režimom Bashara al-Assada, umjesto da stane na stranu naroda," izjavio je on za SETimes, dodavši da ni Sirija ni Bliski istok u cjelini "neće nikad više biti isti".
"It seems like our government prefers its own friendship with Bashar al-Assad's regime, instead of taking the people's side," he told SETimes, adding that neither Syria, nor the Middle East as a whole, "will ever be the same again".
