ERBIL-Hewlêr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — Syria's two main Kurdish
opposition blocs said on Wednesday they would unite
under one banner against embattled Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad, following talks in Iraq's
autonomous Kurdistan region.
The Kurdish National Council, an umbrella group of
around a dozen parties, and the Western Kurdistan
People's Council together announced the formation of
the Supreme Kurdish Council, after a meeting that
also included Iraq's Kurdistan president Massoud
Barzani.
"We announce this good news to our Kurdish people in
Syria and Kurdistan," they said in a statement
issued Wednesday evening.
"We have built the Kurdish house to unify our
struggle between political factions."
The Syrian opposition, particularly its political
wing in exile, the Syrian National Council (SNC),www.ekurd.net
has been criticized for the predominance of
Islamists in key posts and for not being
representative of Syria's diverse religious and
ethnic groups.
Kurdish activist Abdel Basset Sayda was named on
June 10 to lead the SNC, partly in a bid to gain the
confidence of Syria's minorities.
Over 3 Million Kurds live in Syrian Kurdistan.
They complain of persistent discrimination, and
demand recognition for their Kurdish culture and
language, and that they be treated as full-fledged
citizens.
