I am not too optimist about any of 'em.
In north, there may be some positive movement from BDP. But looking at past experiences, I expect things will turn worse. DTP's closure was a surprise to many back in 2009. And it's highly possible to close BDP as well, you never know! Don't forget, the constitution will be re-written by AKP almost single-handedly, so don't expect many changes/rights for the Kurds there. The best that could happen would be a recognition of the Kurds as a people and alternative courses in Kurdish language in schools. Autonomy or some sort of self-rule is impossible to achieve with the current mentality of the Turkish public/political parties.
Syria is a different case, nobody can predict what may happen. This Friday is supposed to be called (Azadi Friday) using the Kurdish term (Azadi) which means (freedom). Also, a few days ago the Kurdish parties gathered under one banner demanding freedom and democracy, plus recognition of their identity and culture in the constitution.
This Friday could be a turning point for better or worse, we may see things lean toward a clear side, the demonstrators or the regime! Let's just hope for the best.
