註釋
The demise of state authority in Syria is creating an unprecedented opportunity for Kurds in the region, who have acted with speed to organize themselves politically and militarily. However, despite constituting roughly 10 per cent of Syria's population, the Kurds do not on their own have the political or military power to determine the outcome of the conflict or their own future trajectory. Both will hinge on their relations with other sections of the Syrian opposition, as well as on the actions of regional powers. The long-term success of the Kurds as a force in regional politics will depend on their ability to create cooperative relations among various Kurdish political movements. Kurdish demands need to be incorporated into the international community's policy of building sustainable peace. A long-term objective should be to aid the transformation and peaceful resolution of the Kurdish conflicts in the region. This requires international and regional powers to increase their engagement with a more diverse set of Kurdish political actors across the region.
