"At no point during these events did I consider stepping down or seeking refuge, nor was such a proposal made by an individual or party. The only course of action was to continue fighting against the terrorist onslaught," the statement said.
Assad says the toppling of his government has not diminished his "profound sense of belonging to Syria and her people." The deposted president says he hopes Syria will be free and independent again.
