Abstract
The Syrian civil war is one of the most important problems which the international community is currently facing, but which remains unsolved since its beginning in March 2011. The high level of complexity of the conflict, the multiplicity of participants and difficulties in recognizing their true intentions make finding possible solutions less probable as the months go by. All this chaos results in the underestimation of the Kurdish factor, which is often, especially because of the increasing role of radical Islamic groups, belittled by some commentators and analysts. Moreover, the lack of unitary organizational structures that can be recognized as a representation of the interests of the Kurdish community living in the territory of Syria, its internal divisions, and the disability in creating the commonly accepted leadership makes regarding the Kurds as a uniform and internally coherent party in the war impossible. The aim of the paper is to present the role of various Kurdish organizations participating in the conflict and analyze the connections and divisions which make the Kurds unable to create a homogenous.

Summary
Streszczenie: Trwaj1ca od marca 2011 roku syryjska wojna domowa pozostaje jednym z najbardziej aktualnych problemów, przed jakimi stoi spo3ecznoœæ miêdzynarodowa, która dotychczas nie zdo3a3a wypracowaæ skutecznego jego rozwi1zania. Celem artyku3u jest ukazanie roli, jak poszczególne ugrupowania kurdyjskie odgrywaj w syryjskiej wojnie domowej, relacji, jakie je 31cz i istniej1cych pomiêdzy nimi g3êbokich podzia3ów, powoduj1cych, ¿e nie s1 oni w stanie stworzyæ jednolitego frontu, d1¿1cego do realizacji wspólnego celu. Wynikaj1cy z tego, i¿ jej przedmiotem jest wci1¿ trwaj1ca w Syrii wojna domowa, powoduje koniecznoœæ odnoszenia siê do zjawisk i procesów bêd1cych jeszcze w toku. Brak jest jeszcze bowiem opracowañ roli czynnika kurdyjskiego w syryjskiej wojnie domowej, które mog3yby byæ uznane za kompleksowe i ostateczne. Taka sytuacja powoduje to, ¿e celem tej analizy nie jest podsumowanie i ocena tej roli, ale uporz1dkowanie zale¿noœci, jakie wystêpuj wœród podzielonych ugrupowañ kurdyjskich i próba przewidzenia kierunku, w którym rozwinie siê opozycyjna dzia3alnoœæ ka¿dego z nich.
