Kurdish-controlled areas of northern Syria are expected to declare a federal system imminently, a Kurdish official says, as peace negotiations continue to be held in Geneva about how to end the country's five-year war.The step, which would combine three Kurdish-led autonomous areas of northern Syria into a federal system, is sure to alarm neighbouring Turkey, which fears growing Kurdish power in Syria is fuelling separatism among its own Kurdish minority.
Idris Nassan, a Syrian Kurdish official and former leader in the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), said the announcement would mean "widening the framework of self-administration" across northern Syria.

This is a really big deal for the Kurds in Rojava (Northern Syria). They have been excluded from the Geneva peace talks so as the peace talks restart for the third day today this makes the timing of this announcement from the Kurds significant. Also this idea of a federal system in Syria has been floated around by the Russian delegation to the peace talks. I hope this idea does move forward and I hope eventually the Syrian government will recognize it as a political solution to the Syrian Civil War. One thing is for sure is that the Turks will not be happy by this announcement.

Regardless of whether the Kurds deserve, or have, the right to autonomous rule and land to do so on, this will not end well.

Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.. might be the one thing that unites them all. Kurdistan is a terrible idea.

The Kurds have one thing in common with all those countries, the leaders didn't do a whole hell of a lot to protect them as citizens. Reaping and sowing is never pretty but it is necessary.

if you agree with imperialist policies as a socialist ,you shouldnt be happy either.
 
The Kurds deserve their own state but they should not be totally independent. Kurdish regions in Syria should have more control over local government but the territory should remain part of Syria to prevent a Turkish invasion.

Actually they dont. The Kurds are massively divided politically along "clan" lines which has caused problems before. Fact is Iraqi Kurdistan only works because they have a common enemy... As for being a "nation".. Kurdistan has never existed. I understand that these people want to have their own country, but not at the cost of a massive war that costs millions of lives. Any nation should be born out of as peaceful methods as possible.

Yeah but the war part will come after they declare, not before. Just a guess. I didn't mention anything about them being a nation but the Kurds in general are treated pretty badly in the nations they are citizens.

I hope they get it.
They've been stuck under the rule of various nations for centuries.
They deserve a nation to call their own.

Turkey should leave Kurdish territory alone instead of occupying the area through military force.

partly true,but being a nation is not that easy.The pkk supporters in Turkey never wants to leave Turkey whether kurdistan is founded or not but they keep trying to divide this country while taking the advantage of having turkish passport and being Turkish citizen.no country would forgive that.

in addition and whats more important ,if all others support a terrorist organization,even social democrat people can not believe in their sincerity ,they claim to be socialist but the capitalist west fully supports this org.on the other hand they comdemn terrorism.

I'm a friend of both Turks and Kurds.
Turks have a nation (a couple of nations really), Kurds should have one too.

The last arguable instance of Kurds having a nation was when Saladin was alive.
If the PKK doesn't want to cooperate, that's on them.

The Kurds don't so let them leave if you don't like them being a part of Turkey I am sure the majority of Kurds would welcome it.
