Syrian President Bashar al Assad has heavily criticised the British government, calling it "shallow and immature".
In an interview with The Sunday Times, he dismissed any suggestion that Britain could help to resolve the conflict saying: "We do not expect an arsonist to be a firefighter."
He said Britain was not trusted by many in the Middle East, saying its has been viewed as "unconstructive" in the region for centuries.
"There's no contact between Syria and Britain for a long time.
"You cannot separate the role from the credibility, and you cannot separate the credibility from the history of that country.
"To be frank, Britain has played famously in our region (an) unconstructive role in different issues, for decades, some say for centuries."
He added: "How can we expect to ask Britain to play a role while it's determined to militarise the problem?
"How can you ask them to play a role in making the situation better, more stable, how can we expect them to make the violence less when they want to send the military supply to the terrorist?
"I think they are working against us, and they are working against the interests of the UK itself.
"This Government is acting in a naïve, confused, and unrealistic manner. If they want to play a role they have to change this, they have to act in a more reasonable and responsible way."
Earlier this week the Syrian Government said it is ready for talks with its armed opponents.
However, Syrian rebel leader Selim Idris said there could be no negotiations unless Mr Assad stepped down and leaders of the army and security forces were put on the trial.
The UN estimates that around 70,000 people have been killed since fighting began in Syria almost two years ago.
