As Syria undergoes a transformative phase, its diverse communities are seeking to secure their place in the nation's evolving political landscape. Among them, the Kurds seek recognition of their long-denied national rights, a topic that remains ambiguous in the agenda of the emerging authorities. VOA Kurdish Service discussed this issue with three experts who emphasized threats from Turkey and the need for the U.S. to maintain influence to help minority communities.
