He said Syria will look east when it comes to political, economic and cultural relations.
"The direct support of our friends, politically, economically and militarily, made our advance on the ground greater and the losses of war less. Therefore, they are our partners in these achievements on the road to crush terrorism," Assad said.
"Let's be clear. There will be no security cooperation nor opening of embassies or even a role for some countries that say that they want to play a role in ending the crisis in Syria before they clearly and frankly cut their relations with terrorism," Assad said. "At that point maybe we can speak about opening embassies."

Can you blame him?
Not only did you beat me to that comment, you did it word for word.
Come on! The previous president only funded a bloody civil war to unseat you!
Guess he doesn’t like John McCain’s jihadi buddies.
So... “not yet”.
Assad is a marked man to every senior officer in the US military for his role supporting the insurgency in Iraq. He is responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers and his allies in Iran are responsible for many more
He has a chance to make good and live.
That said, he deserves credit for helping derail obama’s Arab Spring Muslim Brotherhood hostile takeover of the Middle East and the rise if the Islamic State
The melt down of the Middle East and the invasion of Europe by Islamist “refugees” is bad enough as it is but can anyone imagine where we would be if Obama's Arab Spring plan had succeeded and Assad had fallen to ISIS, MB Islamist Mohammed Morsi was still in power in Egypt and Benghazi never intervened to shine light on what Obama and Hillary Clinton were up to in Libya?
He either acts in the interests of America or he and is gone.
He is protected by Putin and has nothing to fear.
All that stuff about wanting to kill you, Bashar, and impose Al Qaeda in your place? Just a misunderstanding! Obama didn't mean it. Honest! And John McCain - deep down, he's a good guy. Really! He just gets a little crazy sometimes....he's now taking meds to quiet the voices in his head telling him to invade the mid-east.
“Can you blame him?”
Just what I was thinking.
Would be helpful if you understood that the Syrians want Assad to be their Pres.
Referencing “you”, meaning our Pres.
Looking “ east” means Iran
and China too
The outlook for his coalition is better than the outlook for ours
Nope.
Looking “ east” means Iran
and China too

I think there are some long standing predictions about that potential coalition and they are not good
He probably saw what happened to Gaddafi after cooperating with the west.
Seems reasonable. After all, some countries have violated their sovereignty (you know who).
