The West is trying to portray Vladimir Putin as an enemy and dictator who cracks down on domestic opposition, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview on Tuesday.

Ā President Assad said that the West was waging a war ofĀ words againstĀ him just likeĀ it was againstĀ Russian President Vladimir Putin.ā€œThe developments inĀ Syria look much likeĀ what is now happening inĀ your region,ā€ Assad told Russian media onĀ Tuesday.

ā€œEver sinceĀ the coup inĀ Ukraine President Putin has been viewed byĀ western media asĀ  an enemy, a czar, a dictator clamping downĀ on the opposition, someone who came toĀ power inĀ an undemocratic way even though he was elected asĀ a result a popular vote recognized byĀ the West.Ā  No longer. This is what the western propaganda campaign is all about,ā€ Bashar Assad added.

He also said that the Western powers were working hard toĀ bring aboutĀ regime changes inĀ Syria, Russia and other countries.

ā€œThey do not recognize others asĀ partners and sovereign states. All they want is toĀ replace someone who they donā€™t likeĀ with one who would be serving their interests, not his own countryā€™s,ā€ Bashar Assad emphasized.

Syria has been mired inĀ a civil war sinceĀ 2011, withĀ government forces battling againstĀ multiple opposition militias and radical groups.

Since the beginning ofĀ the war, the United States and some ofĀ its allies have supported the moderate Syrian opposition and called forĀ Assad’s resignation, while Russia and Iran recognized Assad asĀ the only legitimate Syrian authority.
