Syrian Kurds find refuge in Iraq’s Kurdish region

continued from page 2

Turkey is trying to control the situation by attempting to stage-manage Syrian rebels and also work with Mr. Barzani, said Mr. Pope. However, he predicted Turkey’s maneuvering will not lead to any lasting solution.

Turkey is clearly trying to use its relationship with Barzani to mitigate its Kurdish problem and try to get some control over the situation in northern Syria where Kurds are being empowered,” he said.

“Ultimately, it cannot control President Barzani in Iraq, and it has no way of determining the fate of Syria’s Kurds.”
