"Syria already signalled it would not oppose that," said METU's Bagci, noting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said ahead of Astana talks that he was ready to negotiate anything with the opposition groups.
The Syrian government and rebel groups other than those recognized as terror groups by the international community gathered together at the Kazakh capital last month for peace talks.
"Damascus looks ready to make concessions to Kurds to keep them part of Syria," Dilek remarked.
"Kurds are strong and the realities on the ground impose Kurdish autonomy," he said, noting the Kurdish militia in Syria has so far captured from the IS an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers.
According to Dilek, autonomy and administratively connecting Manbij to the Afrin canton could be Syria's carrot to the Kurds.
The U.S. has built, following the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, several military bases in the Kurdish cantons and is known for its ambition to create a Kurdish state in the region.
Michael Flynn, a retired general who is now Trump's national security adviser, was quoted as saying in November by the Turkish media that a couple of new states including Kurdistan would emerge in the Middle East in the future.
In 2015, then U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden was quoted by the Turkish media as telling Massoud Barzani, president of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, that they will both see in their lifetime the establishment of a Kurdish state.
