An agreement between the government in Damascus and the Kurdish SDF is to "unify Syrian territory".

Kurdish forces are to be incorporated into Syria's military.

The agreement follows the ceasefire agreement earlier in January, after the new central government in Syria in a major offensive drove SDF forces from former Kurdish strongholds.

The agreement, announced by both parties, aims to "unify Syrian territory and fully integrate" the Kurdish areas in northeastern Syria.

Soldiers are to leave the front lines and only government security forces are to be allowed into Kurdish-controlled cities.

According to the AFP news agency, some of the Kurds' demands have been met, including the incorporation of three SDF brigades into the Syrian military.

The integration of Kurdish forces and administrative institutions into the structure of the central government is to take place "gradually".
