NICOSIA [MENL] -- Syria's Kurdish community, more than 15 months into the
Sunni revolt, has refused to join the campaign to oust President Bashar
Assad.
Western diplomatic sources said the Kurdish community of more than two
million have chosen to stay on the sidelines in the revolt against Assad.
The sources said that despite generous cash offers only a small percentage
of young Kurds have joined the Sunni rebels.
