BEIRUT (AP) ? Syria's president insists there is no civil war in his country ? rather, a new kind of battle he calls "terrorism through proxies."
Bashar Assad acknowledged his troops are fighting a "tough war and a difficult war," adding that when foreign countries stop sending arms to rebels, "I can tell (you) that in weeks we can finish everything."
In an interview with the English-language Russia Today TV, Assad said he does not regret any decision he made since March 2011, when the uprising against his government began.
Assad spoke in English in the interview. It was broadcast in full on Friday.
Sophie Shevarnadze, the journalist who conducted the 26-minute interview, said during the broadcast that she met Assad in a "newly renovated" presidential palace in Damascus.
