Syria's Ambassador to Jordan Bahjat Suleiman said during a press conference held at the embassy earlier on Wednesday that the United States is "an enemy of the Arabs," blasting America's support for Israel and accusing it of "orchestrating plans to "liquidate the Palestinian cause."

Suleiman criticized Jordan's hosting of the so-called "Friends of Syria" talks, which was held in Amman on Wednesday evening with the participation of foreign ministers of 11 nations who support the Syrian opposition against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

He said that the choice to hold the talks in Amman aims to implicate Jordan further in the Syrian crisis despite "the majority of Jordanians standing with Syria," according to his expression.

He applauded Jordan's stance towards the Syrian file, describing the stance as a reaction to Jordan's recognition that further deterioration of the crisis will inevitably spillover on Jordan.

The Ambassador called on Jordanians to "preserve their thrown, state, institutions, and army," in the face of what he described as "financial pressures of the emirates of oil and gas," in his reference to Qatar.

"Syria will overcome this crisis," Suleiman emphasized, stressing that Syrian President Assad will not step down "because of [his] awareness that if Syria fell, the region as a whole will fall in result."

The Ambassador claimed that President Assad intends to run in the next Syrian presidential elections.

Suleiman applauded Syria's "friends," Iran, Russia, and China, and accused the so-called "Friends of Syria" countries of arming rebels, "they portray terrorists as revolutionaries, and portray the Syrian army as killers," he added.

The Syrian Ambassador's press conference was scheduled on Wednesday, coinciding with press conferences held by Jordan's Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh with British FM William Hague and later with US Secretary of State John Kerry, both of whom took part in the ministerial meetings held to address the Syrian crisis.
