Afrin District, Administrative district in northern Aleppo Governorate, Syria
The Afrin District covers a territory characterized by mountainous terrain in the west and plains in the central and eastern regions.
The district underwent significant changes during the Syrian Civil War, transitioning to autonomous administration in 2012 before coming under Turkish control in 2018.
The population includes Kurdish communities in western mountains and mixed settlements of Arabs, Circassians, Chechens, Turkmen, and Armenians in other areas.
