RNA - "Liberation of Darayya was an end to the Saudi regime's dreams to overthrow the Syrian government," Ghavough said on Monday.

"The Syrian army's achievements in Darayya and defeating the Takfiri groups in the battleground was a strategic and historical achievement with deep results and percussions in the process of fighting against the terrorist groups and it will affect Syria's future," he added.

After four years of occupation Darayya is now under the full control of the Syrian army.

On Friday, the militant groups inside Darayya formally agreed to surrender the town after negotiating with a Syrian government delegation.

Under the terms of surrender, the Syrian government agreed to transport the remaining militants from Liwa Shohada al-Islam and civilians to their requested destinations.

Darayya’s civilians were transferred to the opposition-held Qudsiya District, which is located just West of Damascus City.

The government agreed to provide those civilians humanitarian aid and medical assistance, which was administrated by UN groups.

The militants were then transported by government buses to Jeish al-Fatah’s frontlines in Idlib province.

A long convoy of buses carrying terrorist groups' members and their families left the city of Darayya in Western Ghouta heading towards Idlib on Sunday.

Al-Mayadeen reported that terrorist groups' members in Darayya were totally around 1,000 out of which 700 militants called for evacuation from the town.

With the last convoy of terrorists' family members, who left Darayya, the total number of militants' families in Darayya did not surpass 2,000 disclosing that the claims that over 4,000 family members of terrorists were trapped in Darayya were shier lies.
