The conflict is mainly between Turks and Kurds. Turkey and Syria are against the Kurds and their ideas. Specific groups include the Syrian Arabs, Yazidis, Isis, and al-Qaeda.

Below is a map showing  the area ethnic Kurds live in.

Turks believe that the Kurds have to convert to a form of Islam proposed by Isis and al-Qaeda. The Turks believe that all non-conforming people should be killed. The Kurds have offered some resistance against these efforts to eliminate their population.

This conflict has gone on for over 40 years. There has been constant conflict with no sight of a resolution.

About 40,000 Kurds have been killed in this conflict so far. Turkey has suffered about 8,000 loses as of so far due to Kurdish resistance. This has not really impacted the overall population of Kurds in Turkey/Syria area as there is upward of 15 million.

Here is a picture of some Kurdish militants with their flag behind them.

This conflict involves the Syrians, Kurds, Turkey, Russia, and until recently the US until December 18, 2018, when they pulled out all troops from Syria. Russia backs Syria in this case of ethnic conflict. The United States had backed the Kurds until they left in 2018.

As of right now not many eyes around the world are on the conflict. I think it could be resolved but after a while with agreements. I think it would take a large amount of cooperation from many countries and nations in this region. I doubt that it the world would need to get involved to solve this conflict.

This ethnic conflict started in 1978 and is still going today. The U.S. used to help but now has pulled out and are no longer backing the Kurds. The Russians are currently backing the Syrians in their battles against the Kurds.  I think it could be resolved but after a while with agreements. I think it would take a large amount of cooperation from many countries and nations in this region. I doubt that it could last very long due to high tensions in that region.
