Syria's Kurds are discouraged from participating in the uprising, due to Turkey’s role in supporting the Muslim Brotherhood'

"Paris - ... As for relations between the Kurdish community and the SNC, they are not as good as they could be. For example, when activist Suhair Atassi announced that she was joining the SNC, she saluted many Syrian cities by name, while not mentioning any cities with a Kurdish majority. Therein lies the importance of Tammo, who represented Kurdish youth in the SNC. He was able to effectively reach out to Syrian Arabs, while also mobilizing the Kurdish youth to protest. Indeed, members of his Future Movement were put off by the SNC’s failure to properly honor Tammo following his assassination...
A number of Kurdish activists also think that many Kurds are generally dissatisfied with the plan laid out by the SNC. Tammo understood the depth of this problem and tried to convince his Kurdish compatriots that “if we do not participate in the revolution, we will have no right afterwards to demand our rights, based on the principle that ‘the land belongs to those who liberate it.’”
But Tammo’s Future Movement also faces political competition from other Kurdish groups in Syria. The Democratic Union Party (PYD), which is considered the largest Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has its own take on Tammo’s murder. They claim that Turkey is behind the assassination of the Kurdish leader and they call the murder a message from Ankara to Damascus saying that Turkey is more than capable of spreading chaos in Syria. This allegation presumes that Turkey calculated Kurdish outcry against the Syrian regime.
But Arab members of the Syrian opposition suggested that the PKK may have killed Tammo, perhaps on behalf of the regime. This claim is fuelled by rumors that the PKK is under the direction of the Syrian military intelligence, given the regime’s ability to play the “Kurdish card” in its cold war with Ankara....... not many people attach great importance to the nominal participation of Kurdish parties in the SNC.
Kurds may also be discouraged from participating in the uprising, due to Turkey’s significant role in supporting the opposition, with many opposition meetings taking place within Turkey. According to one opposition activist in Paris, the Turkish government has been preventing Kurdish delegates from entering the country to participate in the meetings, as Ankara is wary of Syria’s Kurds."
