Syrian Kurdish group: Damascus government agree to negotiate end to violence
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) said on Saturday that it and the Syrian government had decided at a meeting to form committees to develop negotiations to end violence in Syria.
The committees would "chart a roadmap to a democratic, decentralised Syria", said the SDC, the political wing of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The talks in Damascus this week pointed to moves by the Kurdish-led authorities in the quarter of Syria east of the Euphrates to seek a deal with President Bashar Assad to preserve their autonomy.
