Kurds must feel included in the Syrian opposition

Syria - Kurdish City of Kobani

As Kurdish activists take over some north-eastern towns, the Syrian National Council needs to become more inclusive

Almost unnoticed last week, as attention focused on battles in Damascus, Kurdish activists in north-eastern Syria started taking over control of a few towns without encountering much resistance from the Assad regime's security forces.

It was a significant development, as Syria's Kurds number about 2 million people and could potentially tilt the balance of power towards the opposition.

The Kurdish Flag Flies over Parts of Syria as Aleppo Ignites

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

Many Kurdish towns in the Northeast of Syria are now flying the Kurdish flag as Syrian troops have withdrawn from the region to fight back the offensives in Syria’s two largest cities. BBC reports that fighter jets strafed parts of Aleppo.

This seems to be their first use and a clear escalation. Turkey has closed its border with Syria, halting the passage of all commercial vehicles between Turkey and Syria. Only refugees can cross into Syria. The borders are too dangerous.

Kurdish Liberation Movement in Syria Continues Despite Criticism

26/07/2012 06:02:00 By ADIB ABDULMAJID

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – The Kurdish Supreme Committee – a coalition of the Kurdish National Council (KNC) and the People’s Council of Western Kurdistan – held its first meeting since Kurdish areas in Syria were liberated from the regime.

Held in Qamishli on Tuesday, the meeting discussed the recent developments in the Kurdish areas and their future in a post-Assad era.

Sinem Khalil, a member of the Kurdish Supreme Committee, said that the meeting represented the practical implementation of the agreement signed earlier this month between the KNC and the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Erbil.

“The Kurdish people in Syria are thirsty for unity that will help achieve their aspirations, and that is our main focus now,” Khalil said. “The current stage of this revolution is very sensitive, and what we have achieved so far in the Kurdish areas in Syria proves the level of responsibility reached between the different Kurdish factions.”

He added, “I believe that our Kurdish dream is coming true.”

[Artevelde]

By the way Kirkuki, let me ask you a question. Is your ultimate goal the creation of a Kurdish state including the Kurdish areas of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran? And if so, do you think Kurds from all these areas still have enough in common to form a coherent state?

Turkish FM to discuss Syrian crisis with Iraqi Kurdistan's officials

ANKARA, — Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, will arrive in the Kurdistan Region next week, said Turkish 24 Channel.

During an interview Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told the TV channel that he will send Davutoğlu to Kurdistan to discuss with Kurdish officials the Syrian crisis and the situation of the areas which Syrian Kurds have controlled.

Erdoğan added Turkey does not intend to uproot Kurds in Syria and it cannot interfere in Kurds' affairs "but it's impossible to tenderly look at the relation between the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD)."

He added the entity in Syria cannot be regarded as "Kurdish…because it is the entity of the terrorist PKK and PYD."
