Syrian government reaches deal with Kurdish forces after violent clashes | BBC News

A Kurdish-led militia alliance which controls north-eastern Syria has signed a deal to integrate all military and civilian institutions into the Syrian state, the country’s presidency said.

The agreement, which includes an end of hostilities, says the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) will hand over control of the region’s border posts, airport, and vital oil and gas fields.

It also recognises the Kurdish minority as "an integral part of the Syrian state" and guarantees "the rights of all Syrians to representation and participation in the political process".
