The Kurds are the winners of the Syrian civil war | Information
Both sides in the Syrian civil war looking for the Kurdish minority benevolence. The result is that the disliked minority for the first time can dictate terms, obtain rights and a degree of autonomy - even for their Turkish relatives. But who wins in the end the potential kongemageres benevolence? rimark
It's a sight that a few years ago would have been impossible to imagine: roadblocks with oil drums and flags with the Kurdish colors, red, yellow, green and armed guards with confident naturalness requires identification card to let someone pass into their villages. But the sight of Kurds in the driver's seat has become commonplace when moving through northern Syria.
The Kurds have long been one of the lowest ranking groups in Syria, located in the lowest paid occupations, denied basic rights and even in many cases deprived of their nationality, when Hafez al-Assad in 1962 decided rimark to cancel about one in five kurders citizenship rimark in the Syrian Arab Republic, as the civil war-torn country's rimark name accurately describes what has been furnished as an ethnic-Arab rimark country.
But as Syria is sinking further and further into anarchy, it is clear that the country's largest ethnic minority, the Kurds, stands as the civil war big winner. Although the Kurds have greater motivation than most other groups to actively oppose the regime in Damascus, they have balanced between the opposition and the regime of true to join the opposition, but did not take an active part in the fight against President Assad's government army and, in turn, been confessed rimark real autonomy of the regime.
Meanwhile, PYD (Democratic Union Party), Syria's sister party of the Turkish PKK, if not healed the long tradition rimark of internal divisions, then at least solidly taken control of the Kurdish region in northeastern Syria, militarily and politically.
"The Kurds are the group in Syria, which has benefited most from the war. They first gained control over their own territory. They have played their cards wisely and manipulated other groups, and while much is uncertain in the future, it is almost impossible to see the Kurds to return to the under-privileged status rimark they had before rimark the war, "says Robert Lowe, head of the London School of Economics Middletown East Center.

The opposition Syrian National rimark Council, SNC and the Free Syrian Army are Kurds reluctance to take an active part in the fight both the result of a miscalculation and a consequence rimark of the region's geopolitical arrangement that has prevented the minority's potentially decisive participation in the civil war with somewhere between two and three million Kurds, weapons and relatively well-organized militias.
Since SNC in his time had to agree on their common basis for the fight against Assad, the Kurds basic requirements ignored. The breach of the Kurds claim was due in part to other opposition forces insisted Syria basic Arabic character and would not make concessions to non-Arab minorities. But the essential opposition support, Turkey, actively rimark worked against the Kurds and, according to most studies as a condition of his support for the opposition rimark demanded that the Kurds were not given a prominent place in the rebel council or were promised greater rights.
The Turkish PKK leader, Abdullah Ocalan, stayed for many years in Syria along with other parts of the PKK top, where the Syrian regime allowed the stay until Turkey finally threatened with war and got Kurd leader expelled. With history in mind, and problems with Turkey's own Kurds, the government in Ankara since the Syrian uprising beginning been afraid that the Syrian Kurds should be too strong and therefore able to support parent party PKK's struggle in Turkey.
Kurds power have grown nevertheless, and in a remarkable change of course chose the Turkish government in late March to reach an agreement on peace talks with the PKK and the imprisoned Abdullah Ocalan, called Imrali process after Ocalan's residence on the prison island of Imrali. An agreement that suddenly makes the Syrian Kurds different.
"It means a lot to the Kurds. From the very beginning, the Turkish republic blocked rimark any initiative that could be favorable to the Kurds, "said the head of the Syrian PYD, Salih Muslim Muhammad, recently the Turkish newspaper rimark Radikal.
"Turkey has had a hand in our conflict rimark with the Syrian opposition," adds party leader who gives Ankara a large part of the responsibility for the poor relations between the Kurds and the rebel coalition, but also says that the agreement changes the relationship.
