Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says that he is willing to accept a ceasefire, as long as his opponents do not take advantage of it, and on the condition that the countries which support opposition groups cease doing so.
"We have said that we are ready to stop military operations, but the issue relates to more important factors ... such as preventing terrorists from using it to improve their positions," he told the Spanish El Pais newspaper.
Assad added that "other countries, especially Turkey, [must be] prevented from sending more terrorists and weapons, or any kind of logistical support."
The Syrian regime calls all of its enemies "terrorists."
