Abstract
La situación reciente en Iraq y Siria ha favorecido el auge político de los movimientos kurdos en estos Estados, que buscan mayores cuotas de autonomía o la independencia. Gracias a su resistencia al régimen de Al Asad y su fortaleza frente al Daesh, las milicias kurdas obtuvieron el respaldo de potencias extranjeras. Desde ese espacio del Kurdistán se intenta adquirir cierto protagonismo internacional, diversificando relaciones con terceros países. Entre sus apoyos están Estados Unidos, Gobiernos de la Unión Europea y Rusia, pero también actores de Oriente Medio, como Arabia Saudí, Catar o Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Este artículo analiza las relaciones entre los principales actores políticos del Kurdistán iraquí y sirio con miembros del Consejo de Cooperación del Golfo desde 2011 hasta la actualidad. Se estudian los intereses y estrategias sauditas y de los demás regímenes, así como la importancia de estos apoyos para las causas kurdas.
The current situation in Irak and Syria has boosted the political significance of the Kurdish movements in those countries where they seek higher levels of autonomy or even the independence. Due to their resistance against Al Assad's regime, and its strength versus Daesh, Kurdish militias have got the backing of outstanding foreign powers. Kurdistan is claimed to look for acquiring an international prominence, diversifying relations with other actors. Not only among its main defenders are the United States, the main European Union's governments and Russia, but also others such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar or United Arab Emirates. This paper analyzes the relationships between the main Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan actors with Gulf Cooperation Council's members since 2011 until current days. Saudi interests in the area are studied, as well as the importance of this type of support for the Kurdish causes.
