Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar Ja'afari has called on Britain to take care of its own political issues rather than interfering in Syria's internal affairs.

In an interview with Press TV early Thursda, he said "On one hand, you hear British Prime Minister David Cameron describes and calls the rioters in London, Birmingham, and Bristol as gangs, but our own gangs in Syria he calls them peaceful demonstrators and unarmed civilians."

He was referring to the latest unrest in different parts of England after a few hundred people gathered outside a police station in Tottenham on Saturday to protest against the fatal shooting of a black man, Mark Duggan, on Thursday.

Ja'afari said "This is a hypocrite approach. This is not a logic-based approach and the Europeans should extinguish the fire on their own field rather than investigating fire elsewhere."

The Syrian envoy also praised Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa, and Lebanon for focusing on the Syrian government's success in tackling the demonstrations.
