Syria considers the claims of the United States and its alliance about the liberation of Raqqa city from ISIS to be lies aiming to divert international public opinion from the crimes committed by this alliance in Raqqa province, an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said.
"Syria still considers Raqqa to be an occupied city, and it can only be considered liberated when the Syrian Arab Army enters it," SANA cited the source as saying.
The source said that the US and its illegitimate alliance are misleading the international community about their intentions towards Syria, stressing that their claims of liberating Raqqa city from ISIS are mere lies aiming to divert international public opinion from the crimes they committed in Raqqa province.
