According to Day Press News, Ja'afari said “It’s very indicative and informative to hear the prime minister of England describing the riots and the rioters in England as by using the terms gangs while they don't allow us to use the same term for the armed groups and the terrorist groups in my country. This is hypocrisy.” Bashar Ja'afari says the country's sovereignty “is a red line that must not be crossed”. “We know our commitments, our obligations but at the same time we know what our rights are. And our rights do not stem from any political pressure. They stem from our own political will,” he said after sessions at the United Nations Security Council in New York. He criticized Western nations for accepting the British government's denunciation of rioters as members of gangs, while denouncing Syria for its crackdown on anti-government elements. “They don't allow us to use the same term for the armed groups and the terrorist groups in my country. This is hypocrisy, this is arrogance,” he said. “They tried to manipulate the truth and to hide important facts and elements related to the so-called situation in Syria,” said Ja'afari.
