Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.

Map Update: Turkish Air Force Pounds PKK Targets In Northern Iraq Amid Preprations For Attack On Kurdish Forces In Northern Syria
The Turkish military continues to pressure the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in northern Syria and Iraq.
It’s probably too late, they’re probably already heading to Syria if they haven’t already.
I have no Idea how many PKK will go to Syria and fight the Turks if the invasion does happen, there are supposedly 30,000 in total, and I’ll bet most of them will fight in Syria if not all. PUK also has nearly 30,000 but not too many of them will be able to join the fighting due to Iraqi government restrictions, though in saying that, it wouldn’t shock me if most of them deserted the Peshmerga and joined either the PKK or YPG.
