Out of nowhere : the Kurds of Syria in peace and war
Gunter, Michael M.2014
Books, Manuscripts
In mid-2012 the previously almost forgotten Syrian Kurds suddenly emerged as a potential game-changer in the country's civil war when, in an attempt to consolidate its increasingly desperate position, the Assad government abruptly withdrew its troops from the major Kurdish areas in Syria. The Kurds in Syria had suddenly won autonomy, a situation that has huge implications for neighboring Turkey and the near-independent Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq. Renowned scholar Michael Gunter examines these important events and what they portend for the future.
