Syria's Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun blasted the Arab League for its recent statement on the developments in Syria, and said the AL is confused and is exercising the western states’ plots against Damascus.

“The Arab foreign ministers are lost and do not recognize the interests of the Arab ministers and the Arab world,” Hassoun told FNA on Monday.

The AL foreign ministers in their Sunday meeting issued a statement in which they made no reference to the brutal massacre of the Syrian people by the terrorist group and merely called for forming a transitional government in Syria.

“The Arab foreign ministers do not know beside whom they are standing, they are perplexed and just implementing the orders of the West and opposition coalition,” he said.

Hassoun expressed the hope that the Arab foreign ministers could eventually come to realize that the Syrian nation can decide its own fate and its future president.
