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.
