• No one can discuss the presence of an independent geography for the Kurds of Syria, even if the Kurdish parties claimed about Kurdish geography, because it is unconnected and does not allow for the presence of unified independent entity.
• There is no logic that allows the continuation of the Kurdish call to occupy areas inhabited by the non-Kurds in numbers that exceed the total number of the Kurds in the eastern of Syria by virtue of linking the areas inhabited by the Kurds.
• On the other hand, there is no history that allows talking about Syrian Kurdistan, even if some people talk about the historical Kurdish presence in Al Kamishli. The real history is that the overwhelming majority of the Kurds of Syria is the total of the displaced Kurds from Turkey and they are less than those of Iraq.
• In terms of history and geography, it is not possible to compare between the situation of the Kurds in Syria and the situation of the Kurds in Iraq, even regarding their percentage of the total population, the size of their cause, the status of their cause in the war witnessed by Syria, and the linkage of the high ceiling of the Kurdish movement with the US encouragement, and not with the objective data.
• What is happening with the experience of the secession of the Kurds of Iraq is an occasion for the advocates of the secession in Syria to take the lesson, especially towards Syrian political position that is open to the negotiating solutions.
• The position of the Syrian country and its allies led by Russia and Iran is crucial to suppress the secession, even if the deterrent military confrontation is needed.
• The acceptance of the moderate negotiating ceilings before the situation of the Iraqi Kurdistan moves to the worst will avoid the Kurds of Syria the negotiation after the bitter opportunity of the Kurds of Iraq, because what is acceptable today may be unacceptable tomorrow.
