Assad’s wife says she refused offer to leave Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe wife of Syrian President Bashar Assad tells Russian TV that she declined offers to leave Syria in return for safety and financial security for her and her children.
Asma Assad tells state-run Russia 24 that those who made the offers for her to “run from Syria” earlier in the five-year war were not Syrians, but did not elaborate.
She says the offers were “foolish” and a “deliberate attempt to shatter people’s confidence” in her husband.
