ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – While some international experts believe autonomy is the best route for Kurds in a post-Assad Syria, they also warn that Kurds must not become implicated in the conflict and need to build a secure region as was done in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Recently, several Syrian Kurdish cities were liberated from the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. At the same time, the Kurdistan Region has become a second home for Syrian Kurdish refugees. According to reports, nearly 11,000 Syrians have arrived to the Kurdistan Region.

With these developments, the world media has speculated that “another Kurdistan” is in the making.

Professor Michael M. Gunter from Tennessee Tech University feels autonomy is best for the Kurds in Syria in the long-term.

“The Kurds are mainly based in northern Syria and are minorities,” Gunter said. “Even though they have a long way to go, autonomy would be best for them.”

In the meantime, situations in the regions surrounding Syrian Kurdistan have attempted to influence how the area will be shaped if and when the regime falls.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki sent the Iraqi Army to areas along the Syrian border that have been controlled by the Kurdistan Region, forcing a standoff with Kurdish Peshmerga forces in disputed territory.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani confirmed that a training camp exists in the Kurdistan Region where Syrian Kurdish soldiers are being prepared before returning to defend Kurdish territory in Syria. The president’s statements angered pro-Assad factions in Iraq.

Barzani was clear that the desire was to protect Kurdish unity in Syria. “The best support we can provide is to have a united position, and we have been successful in that as well,” he said.

In mid-July, Barzani mediated between the major Kurdish factions in Syria – the Kurdish National Council (KNC) and Democratic Union Party (PYD) -- to produce the Erbil Agreement, a power-sharing agreement which has maintained peace in the liberated Kurdish cities since the Assad regime withdrew from them.

Pressure is also coming from the north. According to a report from the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Ankara feels threatened by the idea that Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters are entering the Kurdish regions of Syria.

In turn, Turkey has sent a few thousand soldiers to its border with Syria. The Turkish state says it is not against Kurdish rights in Syria, but against the idea that the PKK is controlling Kurdish regions.

The PYD, who has been controlling the liberated areas in Syria, has ties to the PKK.

Moreover, even though a Kurdish Supreme Committee was formed last week, with an equal number of members from the KNC and PYD, a British expert thinks internal conflicts and lack of common vision for the Kurdish future in Syria remain a problem.

“Because there are a lot of different views, there are a lot of possibilities that the Kurdish vision for the new Syria won’t be united,” said Bill Park, a lecturer in defence studies at London’s King’s College.

“Some will want to form an alliance with other parties, and others will want autonomy,” he said.

Park added, “The Kurds should protect their region and not caught up with the Arab conflict and build a secure region like Iraqi Kurdistan.”
