it is possible to buy electoral wills, for example, you get me? I linked democracy,

true democracy is achieved with the

absence of poverty and the absence of ignorance. But with ignorance and poverty,

I think there will not be democracy, rather it will be the reproduction of

dictatorships in a different disguise, In a different way,

that is not called democracy at all.

This is my point of view, I mean. May I ask you, Mr. Ayman, whom will you support in

the upcoming presidential elections in Syria?

I will support the one who, for ten years,

did not leave Syria,

did not flee outside Syria, remained entrenched throughout the war, even though

I thank you for this conversation that you have given us Mr. Ayman Zeidan,

after a period of absence. I mean, thank you,

and thank you for your candor, I mean,

you do not fear anyone's reproach in many of your answers, as I have noticed.
