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."
