Baku – APA. A new analysis suggests so-called Islamic State militants have lost 22% of territory in Syria and Iraq over the past 14 months.
The data was compiled by research company HIS, APA reports citing BBC.
They estimate IS has lost 40% of its revenue - much of it from oil - after losing control of the Turkish-Syrian border.
The loss of territory in Syria, coupled with the fact that several high profile IS leaders have been killed or captured in recent months, is weakening the propaganda message, experts say.
