The Syrian Interim Government (SIG) is an alternative government in Syria, formed by the umbrella opposition group, the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (Syrian National Coalition, SNC) during the Syrian Civil War. The Syrian Interim Government constitutes a separate administration in Turkish-controlled territories in Northern Syria and has partial authority there. The interim government's headquarters in Syria are located in the city of Azaz in Aleppo Governorate.[2][3] While responsible to the Syrian National Coalition, the SIG is closely aligned with Turkey. The SIG's armed forces are the Syrian National Army.

Since the fall of the Assad regime, the SIG has been coexisting with the Syrian transitional government headed in Damascus by Mohammed al-Bashir, though the SNC has expressed its support for the transitional government and called for the formation of a government that would be "inclusive of everyone".[4]
