Assad: We won't talk to 'terrorists'

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on Friday declared he would not join peace talks proposed by world powers, claiming the United States and Saudi Arabia wanted "terrorist groups" to join those talks, Reuters reports, citing Syrian state media.

“Terrorists” is the word Assad uses to describe all the rebel groups fighting his regime.
