UNSC presidential statement mentions presence of terrorist groups in Syria
● Syria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, said that after three permanent members: France, Britain and the US hampered the issuance of eight previous presidential statements by the UN Security Council, a statement was finally adopted today on the humanitarian situation in Syria, adding that this statement clearly mentions the presence of armed terrorist groups which are committing crimes in Syria. At a press conference following the issuance of the unbinding UNSC presidential statement on the humanitarian situation in Syria, al-Jaafari said, "For the first time, we find a clear reference to the violations and acts of killing and terrorism committed by the armed terrorist groups in Syria."
