Rmeilan, Syria, March 17, 2016 (AFP) — Syria's Kurds on Thursday declared a federal region in the country's north, officials told AFP, as they seek further autonomy in areas under their control.
Two officials at talks involving Kurdish, Arab, and other parties in the town of Rmeilan said delegates had agreed on creating a "federal system" unifying the three mainly Kurdish cantons in northern Syria.
