Assad hands control of Syria’s Kurdish areas to PKK, sparking outrage in Turkey

The prospect of a PKK-dominated zone in northern Syria appears to be an unintended consequence of the civil war now raging between Assad and rebels of the Free Syrian Army, who are Arab Sunni Muslims who’ve been fighting, with U.S. and other nations’ backing, to topple Assad’s government.
Assad withdrew forces last week from six predominantly Kurdish towns and handed control to the Kurdish militants in what appears to be an effort to bolster his defenses at Aleppo, which became the scene of sustained fighting last week for the first time since the anti-Assad uprising began more than 16 months ago

Blue Girl noted Kurdish independence and the PKK as being threats to Iraq ( Saddam repressed the Kurds - they are now 'semi-autonomous' ) and Turkey. Now the attack on Syria has resulted in the consequences of destabilization being separated from the existence of Assad's regime ahead of NATO's expectations..

 Hat Tip  http://weeklyintercept.blogspo...

Kurdish control of these border areas are an apparent consequence of the chaos of Syria’s internal conflict, in which the US and its allies are sending aid, intelligence, and weapons to the Syrian rebels, despite numerous crimes and ties to terrorist groups.
