Kurdistan

[Shahab3]

Das die Christen aus Syrien in den Westen Auswandern, glaub ich kaum. Denn die dort lebenden Christen sind dort schon seit jeher angestammte Völker oder Gruppen, wie zb. die Aramäer(Jesus sprach Aramäisch).

Dazu empfehle ich Dir einfach mal den gestrigen Artikel 'Syria's Threatened Christians' aus der NYT zu lesen. Homs wurde demnach in den letzten Wochen bereits von den Islamisten ethnisch "gesäubert" und die Frage ist tatsächlich, wo die Vertriebenen dauerhaft bleiben können. Eine Rückkehr in ihre Häuser scheint erstmal nicht absehbar:

Syria's Threatened Christians

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Earlier this month, reports came from the Syrian city of Qusayr of an ominous warning to the town’s Christians: Either join the Sunni-led opposition against Bashar al-Assad or leave. Soon after, thousands of Christians fled the town.

As the 15-month conflict rages with no end in sight, Syria’s many minorities have come face to face with the emerging threat posed by radical Sunni Islamists. These elements have established themselves as a key factor in Syria’s future, backed by immense political and economic support from the Arab world and indifference from the West.

This March, months before the Qusayr ultimatum, Islamist militants from the opposition’s Faruq Brigade had gone door to door in Hamidiya and Bustan al-Diwan neighborhoods of Homs, expelling local Christians. Following the raids, some 90 percent of Christians reportedly fled the city for government-controlled areas, neighboring countries or a stretch of land near the Lebanese border called the Valley of Christians (Wadi al-Nasarah). Of the more than 80,000 Christians who lived in Homs prior to the uprising, approximately 400 remain today.

Assad grants control of Kurdish region to militant group
ROY GUTMAN - McClatchy Newspapers

Thursday, Jul. 26, 2012 ISTANBUL — Syrian President Bashar Assad, facing a growing rebel presence in Aleppo, his country's largest city and its commercial hub, has turned control of parts of northern Syria over to militant Kurds whom Turkey has long considered to be terrorists, prompting concern that Istanbul might see the development as a reason to send troops across its border with Syria.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in comments late Wednesday, said Turkey would not accept an entity in northern Syria governed by the Iraq-based Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has long waged a guerrilla war against Turkey, and its Syrian affiliate, the Democratic Union Party.

Die Kontrolle über die Kurdengebiete an lokale Milizen/PKK abzugeben ist ein weiser Schachzug Assads. Es verrät aber auch, dass er längst für die Zukunft und eine Teilung Syriens plant.
