Referring to strained relations with Turkey following the Syria's shooting down of one of its military fighter planes, Assad said there was a difference between the stance of Turkish officials and the positive view of Turkish people towards Syria.
"The responsibility of the Syrian government is to protect all of our residents. You have a responsibility to annihilate terrorists in any corner of the country," Assad said.
"When you eliminate a terrorist, it's possible that you are saving the lives of tens, hundreds, or even thousands," he added.
The statement comes in a moment when violence in Syria has increased and tensions are running high in the country’s relations with Turkey, Reuters has reported.
Turkey has deployed weapons to the border with Syria after the country shot down a Turkish fighter jet.
The Western countries and governments of the Arabic countries have increased diplomatic activities ahead of a meeting in Geneva on Saturday.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have not been invited to the meeting on Syria and diplomats say that the meeting will focus on a transition plan that should open the door to the forming of a national unity government.

Turkey is the first country that must fall to destroy the NATO death machine. There is an opportunity here and the Kurds must be fully armed now. They will get their state in Turkey. Once Turkey falls, other parts of the Balkans can be cleaned up and Constantinople must return to Greece.
