Beirut: Syria's government and an opposition coalition on Thursday rejected the announcement by Kurdish parties of a federal region in the country's north.
Citing a foreign ministry official, Syria's state news agency SANA said the declaration "has no legal basis" and would "encroach on Syria's territorial unity."
The opposition National Coalition meanwhile warned against "any attempt to form entities, regions, or administrations that usurp the will of the Syrian people."
