The traditional Syrian-Kurdish outfits have not been seen in public in Syria's Kurdish regions in years due to the restrictions on the minority that also banned their language and denied them Syrian nationality.
However, after Syria's uprising in March 2011, the government relaxed some restrictions in the Kurdish-majority areas in the country's north.
