---

Former US President Barack Obama spoke about the major failures of his presidency, including the Syrian tragedy and his failed attempts to convince the international community to keep Syria united.

In the field of foreign policy, the tragedy in Syria still hurts me. During the Arab Spring (events that have taken place in a number of Arab countries since 2011, accompanied by demonstrations and unrested.) , Egypt was in the spotlight, then Libya between , So Syria began to fall apart. I was unable to involve the international community in preventing Syria from falling apart. I cannot stop thinking about the human suffering that followed, Obama said in an interview with German television channel ntv .

The former president also attributed the failure to extend his own popularity to the Democratic Party. And even after my re-election, we did not win back the majority in Congress. My hands were tied tighter than I wanted when passing laws, he said.
