Kurdish Question

Over 10% of Syria/s inhabitants or close to 2 million people are Kurds, yet the Syrian Constitution imposed by the ruling Baath Party back in 1973 fails to acknowledge their existence, and the Kurds live as second-class citizens at best unable to study or teach in their own language, and are denied access to many government jobs. Over 300,000 Kurds have been stripped of their citizenship following a controversial census that took place in 1961.

I think the point is the area is completely neglected by the nationalist Syrian Government because it is populated by Kurds, not Arabs.

They take the oil and gas found in these areas and return nothing but misery.
