Syria’s president Bashar al-Assad said the US president Donald Trump's proposal to create safe zones in Syria was unrealistic, Asad told Yahoo News.

According to him, Safe zones for the Syrians could only happen “when you have stability and security, where you don’t have terrorists, where you don’t have flow and support of those terrorists by the neighboring countries or by Western countries,” SANA reported.

“Syrians don’t need safe zones at all. It’s much more viable, much more practical and less costly to have stability than to create safe zones. It’s not a realistic idea at all,” Asad noted. “ So, if you lift the embargo, and if you stop supporting the terrorists – I’m not talking about the United States, I’m talking about everyone who supported terrorists including the United States during Obama’s administration – if you stop all these acts, most of those people will go back to their country”
Asked whether he agreed with the U. S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban which suspended the entry of the citizens of seven Muslim countries, including Syria, Asad answerd that it was American issue.

“I’m not going to discuss that this is right or wrong; this is American issue,” he noted.
