President Assad's Rebuttal to the Drug Trafficking Claims in Syria

President Assad said if we are the ones seeking as a state to encourage the drug trafficking in Syria, this means that we as a state encourage terrorists. And he also said the drug trafficking is present and has not stopped. But when there is war and the weakness of the state, this trade could flourish. Those who bear responsibility in this case are the countries that contributed to creating chaos in Syria, not the Syrian state itself. I have to say this interview again demonstrates President Assad's clear-mindedness, his keen intellect and his consistency. He hadn't deviated from his message since the beginning of this war.
