Jazira Region

Jazira Region, formerly the Jazira Canton (Kurdish: Herêma Cizîrê; Arabic: إقليم الجزيرة; Syriac: ܦܢܝܬܐ ܕܓܙܪܬܐ, romanized: Ponyotho d'Gozarto), was the largest of the three original regions of the de factoDemocratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES). As part of the Rojava conflict, its democratic autonomy was officially declared on 21 January 2014. The region was located in the Al-Hasakah Governorate (formerly known as the Al-Jazira Province) of Syria. In August 2026, the region became fully integrated into the Syrian state.
According to the DAANES constitution, the city of Qamishli was the administrative center of Jazira Region. However, as parts of Qamishli were previously under the control of Syrian government forces, meetings of the autonomous region's administration took place in the nearby city of Amuda.
The region had two subordinate cantons: the , consisting of the al-Hasakah area (with the Al-Shaddadi, and Al-Hawl districts subordinate to it), the Al-Darbasiyah area, and the Tell Tamer area; and the Qamishli canton, consisting of the Qamishli area (with the , , and districts subordinate to it) and the Derîk area (with the Girkê Legê, and Çilaxa districts subordinate to it).
