Syrian President Bashar Assad said he will not allow Western countries to participate in improving life in the Arab Republic. "Will they come with money or not? They offer a loan, a donation or grants - anything - we do not need the West. The West is far from the concept of "honesty": they do not give, they only take "- he said on NTV. According to him, the country itself will solve this problem. Money for the restoration of the infrastructure of power will be sought from friendly countries, as well as look for internal reserves. According to rough estimates, the post-war reconstruction of the country will need about $ 400 billion. Now, European companies are trying to make money in the republic, but they are only pursuing the goal of earning, Assad added..
