'Some in Turkey think themselves very smart,' al-Assad says.(HD).Syrian President Bashar al-Assad evaluated the Turkish government's policy towards his country as "the dreams of some people who think they are very smart," in an interview with Russian state broadcaster Russia 24. Al-Assad said no good would come to Turkey from the policy the country was currently following. "We have no contact with the Turkish government, but we did not cut dialogue with other political circles in the country," al-Assad said, hinting at an ongoing dialogue with parties other than Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). "Our opinion about the realities in Syria coincides with these circles. These politicians are aware of the danger. They are aware of the risk that the negative incidents in Syria will manifest as chaos and terror in Turkey in the future." Al-Assad said some politicians in Turkey were "carried away by dreams." He said "there are those among them who think themselves to be very smart. You may be very smart, you may be using a state-of-the-art computer, but your efforts will be in vain if you try to run an obsolete program on it."Read the full story here.
