Syrian Government and Kurdish Forces Reach Historic Agreement on Integration

The deal ensures Kurdish autonomy within a unified Syria while incorporating key Kurdish regions and institutions into the national framework.

The agreement was signed by Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF leader Mazlum Abdi after weeks of negotiations.
Key provisions include the integration of Kurdish-controlled civilian and military institutions into the Syrian state, including airports, border crossings, and oil fields.
The deal guarantees full citizenship rights for Kurds and political participation for all Syrians, regardless of ethnicity or religion.
A nationwide ceasefire and the safe return of displaced Syrians to their homes were also agreed upon as part of the framework.
The move is seen as a major step toward national unity but raises questions about the status of detained ISIS fighters in Kurdish-controlled camps and potential Turkish reactions.
