Today, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad participated in casting his vote in the Syrian presidential elections at a polling station in Douma, in the eastern Ghouta of Damascus, accompanied by his wife Asma.

Al-Assad played down the importance of statements by Western countries that deny the legitimacy of the presidential elections currently underway in his country.

Al-Assad told reporters after casting his vote that Syria does not pay any attention to the West’s statements about the current elections, saying that the value of these opinions "is worth nothing."

Al-Assad stressed that his vote from Douma is evidence of the unity of the Syrian people in the face of terrorism.

It is noteworthy that the polling stations in the Syrian presidential elections opened their doors this morning to the voters, hundreds of whom gathered in front of the ballot boxes.

Presidential elections are held for a period of one day, and the Supreme Election Commission can extend the electoral process by several hours.
