Syrian Kurdish delegation hold meeting in Erbil
Syrian Kurdish leaders have agreed on forming a joint military council for northeastern Syria, otherwise known as Western Kurdistan.
The agreement came after representatives of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Kurdish National Council (KNC) met in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
An earlier agreement signed in Erbil in the summer between all parties had failed to unite armed groups in the Kurdish areas of Syria where regime forces have largely withdrawn since July.
