Having been snubbed outright from the Geneva II peace talks, the Syrian Kurdish parties have agreed to establish an autonomous region spanning the nation’s northeast.
Dubbed Rojava (the traditional Kurdish name for the region), the Kurdish government will be centered in the capital city of Qamishli, along the border with Turkey, and is preparing a new constitution.
Turkey has previously threatened “action” against Kurdish autonomy, which is the exact opposite result from what they envisioned the Syrian Civil War producing. The Syrian rebels have also claimed autonomy is “hostile” to their goal of conquering the whole nation.
The Kurdish factions has initially envisioned the administration as keeping Syrian Kurdistan out of the civil war and reintegrating with the eventual winning side, but as the war continues to stalemate they seem to be setting up a more or less permanent autonomous region.
The Kurds are US/Israel pawns and have been trained as terrorists by mossad and CIA. No one trust them.
Sorry to burst your bubble Ditz but you shouldn´t be jumping up and down just yet.
“Autonomous” is not the same as “independent” . There are no big flying sources hanging over the eastern Syrian sky, no parades, no US flags and no US troops pulling statues for CNN & Co. This region has been autonomous since Damascus gave them that in everything but name 3 years ago and this latest move is also in accordance with previous agreements. Al Qamishli airport is now since some months connected to fully functioning int.airports Damascus, Latakia and Aleppo with 8 domestic and int. flights a day. Kurds and the central Government are doing just well. What is the reason for this then? Well essentially to p*ss off the Turks who still continues to support the destruction of Syria by those Wahhabi Muppet´s nobody wanted there in the first place and stealing Syrian property.
[moderator’s note: This was a tough one. It would be a really good comment except for the “lying about Jason Ditz’s motivations” part. So good, in fact, that I decided to let it through in spite of its author’s decision to lie about Jason Ditz’s motivations. Last chance on that count, Marc – TLK]
