OSLO, October 6. /TASS/. Western media are biased in covering the conflict in Syria hushing up victims among the civilian population in the areas that are not under control of the Syrian government, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview with Danish TV 2.

"In every war there are victims, there are innocent victims. And that’s why every war is bad war," he said. But looking at pictures in western media, one can see that they publish only "few pictures of children that suit their political agenda," he said.

The president said in two days that TV2 correspondent Rasmus Tantholdt has been in Syria, dozens of people, including children, women and elderly have died in shelling from the eastern part of the city.

"And the Western corporations didn’t talk about them," he said. There was "not a single statement" regarding that, said Assad accusing the West of propaganda, as well as "demonization of the government of Syria".

He also reminded the audience that the republic’s authorities had opened the door to militants in the eastern part of Aleppo to leave safely.

Moderate opposition is ‘myth'

The president said moderate opposition in Syria is a myth, they cannot be separated.

Moderate opposition in Syria is a myth, "you cannot separate something that doesn’t exist from something that exists," the president said.

All of them have the same grassroots, he said. "The same grassroot that used to be called Free Syrian Army four years ago, five years ago, then it became Al Nusra, then it became ISIS," moving from one group to another group, the Syrian leader said.

West helped IS

According to Assad, forces of the international coalition led by the United States have helped the Islamic State terrorist organization when they delivered a strike on Syrian government forces in the city of Deir-ez-Zor.
