The Nusra Front, however it calls itself, was and still is an illegal terrorist organization that has no other purpose than to create a so-called Islamic caliphate with cruel and barbaric methods, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Any attempt by a terrorist organization to change its image is futile, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Friday, commenting on the Nusra Front leader’s announcement of a split from al-Qaeda.

In a Thursday video, Nusra Front leader Mohammed al-Jolani said the group had split from al-Qaeda and changed its name to Jabhat Fath al Sham, or "The Front for Liberation of al Sham."

"There is no need to prove that all attempts by terrorists to change their image are futile. The Nusra Front, however it calls itself, was and still is an illegal terrorist organization that has no other purpose than to create a so-called Islamic caliphate with cruel and barbaric methods," the ministry said in a commentary.

The ministry added that the international community will continue its consistent fight against terrorist "fanatics" until their complete destruction.
