BEIRUT: An Armenian church in the city of Raqqa has been taken over by
militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, according
to activists.
The Al-Qaeda affiliate has turned Martyrs' Church into a proselytizing
center, according to opposition sources, and replaced a cross above
the church with an ISIS banner.
Members of the group had earlier vandalized two churches in the city,
provoking demonstrations against the move by local residents.
