Kurds are to declare a federal system in Northern parts of Syria, Kurdish officials told reporters on Wednesday.
The move would see three Kurdish governed regions be merged into a federal region, and follows a meeting in the Syrian town of Rmeilan on Wednesday.
"The gathering will try to develop a new ruling system in northern of Syria," Sihanuk Dibo, a consultant to Syria's key Kurdish political group, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) told AFP.
"All the suggestions are now heading towards federalism," he added.
Denying the moving was a step towards independence, a PYD media spokesperson told AFP.
