Quotes[edit]
- I tell Europe if you don't want refugees, then you should help us get rid of this regime [of Bashar al-Assad]... I am very sorry about the Russian interference [in Syria], which has stood on the side of dictator Bashar Assad, and has begun to kill the Syrian people with their planes.
- Muhammed Faris, as quoted in "AP Interview: Syrian cosmonaut: Europe must help oust Assad" (March 2016), The Daily Mail, United Kingdom
