Opinoin: Who won the Arab spring?​

1. Iran the early winner: First when Arab spring happened, Iran seemed to be the BIG winner. She got rid of several enemies including Mubarak, the worst one.

2. Turkey the middle term winner: Then Syrian crisis happened and Muslim brotherhood flourished. Iranian influence declined. Turkey was the BIG winner, winning some new friends and respect,
until when the Kurdish issue happened, Syrian crisis did not finish, and Turkey lost the zero problem policy.

Now there is no sole winner or loser. People of Egypt and Tunisia are not excited any more.
However, one nation has won everything, so far.

KURDs are the main winner of the Arab spring.

I think Arab spring largely failed except few exceptions. Only beneficiary was Tunisia who had a regime change without much bloodshed. Libya paid a huge price for regime change. While there is still extreme uncertainly in other regions.

Iran is probably the biggest winner of Arab Spring because pro-Iran shia parties have won by majority in Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq!

It was never a Arab spring . It was "Maghreb Spring and Arab winters" .

Yeah but they were small congress elections.

Iran was probably hoping for a Spring in the GCC, but those guys managed to limit that to the African continent.

Also, they tried to do a Spring-stunt in Oman, but turns out that the people did not want to remove the Sultan.

I think that depends on the outcome in Syria but the potential of a stronger Kurdistan have grown since the Syrian civil war. It's in Turkey's and the rebels interest to suppress this potential so I would expect them to work together in this issue. The only country in the region that could gain from a stronger Kurdistan would be Israel as this can mitigate the effects of the arab revolutions which have work against it's interests as well as putting more kurdish pressure on both Turkey and Iran. Naturally for kurds there are not many allies to be found in its surrounding region so i would expect them to look elsewhere too.
