DAMASCUS, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al- Moallem said Thursday that the United States is the head of the conspiracy against his country and that Qatar, Saudi and Turkey are just tools, the state-TV reported.
In an interview with the state-TV, al-Moallem said the Arab League (AL) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conspired on the suspension of Syria's OIC membership, holding them responsible for the bloodletting in Syria.
Al-Moallem regarded the recent move by the OIC as a breach to its charters, branding some of its members "hypocrites."
Earlier in the day, the OIC suspended Syria's membership of the 57-member bloc. Iran said it stands against such a decision.
Meanwhile, speaking about his recent meeting with UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos, al-Moallem said he asked her about the countries that have donated to help the Syrian people and "she said only four countries have donated and we haven't received a dollar from the Arabs."
Al-Moallem said he told Amos that those countries, in reference to the Gulf states, have the money to support the armed groups to destroy the infrastructure and roust people out of their homes but did not pay one dollar to help the people suffering the turmoil.
