He rules the state with an iron fist and poverty is long gone. The Hellenic State is currently sending weapons and financial aid to nationalists fighting in Europe. Genocide against Turks, Macedonians and Albanians are still ongoing in the Hellenic State.
Damascus, Syria"The Golden Dawn, huh? Sounds like the SS on steroids."
Assad looked over at his wife, who was reading the newspaper while making breakfast. "Is this about the Hellenics again?"
"Sure is, sweetie. Looks like they're killing just about everyone over there. Don't understand why. There are no pure Greeks anymore." She handed him his coffee. "You have the kids today, by the way. Stupid press wants to follow me around the grocery store."
"I can handle the kids, don't worry." He stands up to kiss her. "And I'm going to handle the genocidal maniacs, too."
"Bashar, last time you tried to handle genocidal maniacs, you almost got killed."
"This time, it's different." Assad puts his coffee in a travel mug. "I'm not relying on Russia to back me up this time."
Syria looked more Western and modernized ever since Assad was allowed to stay. Damascus had bigger buildings, skyscrapers, and businesses of all types, making the city a global icon. With the gorgeous weather, Assad chose to walk to the capital building, occasionally stopping to let a civilian get a picture with him.
A soldier standing at his office door saluted as Assad entered. "Sir, the foreign minister wishes to--"
"I know, I know, we're condemning the Hellenic States for their genocide." Assad smirks. "Nuh-uh, we're not condemning them, we're going to deal with them. Hell, I'll do it personally."
With that, Assad sends a letter to the Hellenic leader, requesting a private conference in Damascus.
