CNN: Syrian President: Trump suggestion of 'safe zones' not realistic
(CNN)Syrian President Bashar al-Assad rejected the idea advanced by US President Donald Trump of creating safe zones for refugees and displaced people in Syria.
"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... 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," Assad told Yahoo News in an interview published Friday by state-run SANA.
Safe zones are meant to be areas where civilians can live without fear of being targeted by any party, protected by the international community. The Syrian government has persistently and broadly branded as terrorists those fighting to topple Assad.
