FAR better than under Turkey or Iran.

No comparison.

Not so. Like Sadam the Assads moved Syrian-Arabs and Syrian-Turks into areas of Syria that formally once had Kurdish majorities to reduce or eliminate their domiance in some areas and insure the Assads had loyal forces (loyal to them) that the Kurds knew the Assads could call on should the Kurds show any lack of allegience. Instead of direct genocide it was systematic political containment (just as China has since 1949 moved more and more Han into provinces where the Han were once just a minority).
