The Huffington Post quotes Rafik Hariri Center Resident Senior Fellow Faysal Itani on increasing tensions between Turkey and the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, a Syrian Kurdish organization:
Faysal Itani, an analyst at the Atlantic Council, warns that Turkey may surreptitiously launch a “backlash” to isolate the Syrian Kurds. Turkey could pressure Syrian Arab groups to challenge the PYD, Itani said, undermining the Arab-Kurd alliance that the U.S. hopes will save Syria.
