Kurds announced the establishment of autonomy in northern Syria

Kurds and their allies approved a plan to implement a federal system in northern Syria on the border with Turkey. This decision could complicate the continuation of peace talks in Geneva.

This decision was taken following the conference in al-Hasaka, which was attended by about 200 representatives of various ethnic and religious groups.

Newly established region will include three sites in northern Turkey: Cobán and Ephrin in Aleppo province, as well as in the province of Jazira Al Hasaka. Between the first two areas we were able to establish a direct connection, and the third area remains an enclave.
