The US and its Western allies have been actively engaged in the seven-year long war in Syria, including the illegal stationing of troops in the country and backing anti-government terrorists and militants such as Daesh, al-Nusra Front, and the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
The conflict in Syria has caused billions in damage to the country, but President Assad said he is determined to rebuild without a single penny from the “dishonest” West.
Speaking on Russia's NTV channel on Sunday, President Assad said: “They [the West] won’t be part of reconstruction in Syria, because very simply we won’t allow them to be part of it… we don’t need the West. The West is not honest at all, they don’t give, they only take”.
