Information Minister: Crimes of al- Nusrah Front in Raqqa, a Result of their Defeats

DAMASCUS,(ST) – Minister of Information, Omran al- Zou’bi  has confirmed that “attacks and crimes of  al Nusrah  Front affiliated to al-Qaeda in the governorate of al Raqqa are the result of their  defeats in front of the Syrian Arab army in Aleppo and Damascus, and trying to intimidate citizens and reprisals against them on their national positions.”

During a seminar held today at Al-Assad Library, the minister pointed out that “Nothing raises fears and concerns about the presence of these armed groups in some areas of al- Raqqa city and the issue is a matter of time.”

Mr, al Zou’bi  stressed that the government is “serious in conducting a national dialogue that does not exclude anyone where all topics can be discussed,” stressing that “Saudi Arabia and Qatar and other phantom cartoon countries have no place at the table of dialogue between the Syrians and they will never contribute to building Syria.”
