BEIRUT (Sputnik) – The source noted that the council’s 31-member regulatory body was expected to be elected next.
Earlier in the day, the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and allied groups in several areas under Kurdish control announced the creation of the so-called Democratic System in Syria's north. Around 200 delegates converged in the town of Rmeilan ahead of the announcement.
Its representatives maintained that the new entity would remain part of Syria as a federal unit.
The federal region is reportedly composed of Kurdish, Arab, Turkmen and other ethnic groups populating the region.
The announcement came against the backdrop of a new round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva and strong opposition among all stakeholders to the division and the breakdown of Syrian territorial integrity.
