Founder and Co-Director at Fight For Humanity Organisation, I don't retweet because I agree with. I tweet in my personal capacity. Human rights and peace!

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

In my opinion, this is incorrect policy! Many people will be forced doing it because they are not allowed to do drop of and charged more.
You allow to add one way large cabine , but not allowing to add one way 23kg suitcases.
I will raise this issue with lawyers and on social media influencers @tdgch @LeTemps @Lematinch @GenevaSolutions

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

@easyjet, their online booking system is making me register my 23-kilogram suitcase for my return flight. I only need to register it because I won’t be taking it on my return.
Is this legal ?

@Charles_Lister But “pigs”

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

@_____mjb Syria, a signatory to the Child Rights Convention, recognises the right of children to education in their mother tongue. Since Decree Number 13 acknowledges Kurdish as a national language Syria is obligated to incorporate the Convention’s related articles into its constitution.

I’m sorry to hear Iranians placed their trust in a monarch overthrown by the very people who endured unprecedented suffering under his father’s rule. This is amnesiac behaviour. Furthermore they anticipate Trump and Netanyahu will bring democracy, something Trump detests. They also expect Trump to dismantle the Iranian army and state structures, replacing them with a new army led by a monarch without an army.

This woman is an genocide lover! She is expecting the freedom from actors who are comittung genocides.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

Those in the West stay silent while Iranian women are killed for rejecting compulsory hijab and the Islamic regime, yet proudly celebrate World Hijab Day. And then you call Iranian women “Islamophobic” for exposing the brutality of Islamic ideology:

Before throwing that word around, look at this photo.

I know this Iranian woman personally.
Islamic Republic agents threw acid on the face of Marzieh for the crime of not wearing her hijab properly.

This is not a metaphor.
This is not a debate.
This is a human being punished under Islamic law.

As a man living safely in a democratic country with freedom of speech and bodily autonomy, you do not get to lecture Iranian women about what we are allowed to fear.

A phobia is an irrational fear. But my fear the fear of millions of us Iranians is not irrational.

We afraid of those who throw acid on our faces.
We are afraid of prison.
We are afraid of rape, blinding, and hanging. Yes, we are afraid of being executed for the “crime” of criticizing Islam.
We are afraid of assassins showing up at our doors with guns. We are afraid of getting killed for the crime of protesting.

That fear comes from lived experience not prejudice.

When Iranian women burn their compulsory hijab, we are not attacking a religion.
We are saying no to the entire Islamic regime that controls our bodies, our lives, and our future.

When you call iranian women as Islamophobic, you are not defending Muslims.

You are justifying silence.
Silence in the face of mass killing.
Silence in the face of more than 40,000 people killed.

Do not dare ever again to tell Iranian women that our fear is irrational.
Your words are the excuse the Islamic Republic uses to target us inside Iran and beyond its borders.

NEDİR BU KÜRTLERİN SİZDEN ÇEKTİĞİ!

Düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı.

Topunuza birden söylüyorum.

Kürtler kendi geleceklerine kendi özgür iradeleriyle kendileri karar verebilecek olgunluğa ve kudrete sahiptirler.

Demokrat iseniz Kürtlerin kararına da tercihine de saygılı olacaksınız.

Bir de Kürtler hakkında konuşurken saygılı olmayı unutmayacaksınız.

Kendinize duyulmasını istediğiniz saygıyı Kürtlerden esirgiyorsanız şayet, saygı vadisinde yeriniz yok demektir.

Kürdü tarif etmekten de, Kürde misyon yüklemekten de vazgeçmelisiniz.

Kürt kendini nasıl tarif ediyorsa o tarifi esas alacaksınız, o tarife olumsuz başka anlamlar ve sıfatlar yükleyerek saygısızlık etmekten de kaçınacaksınız.

Kürtler kendi içlerinde çeşit çeşittirler. Tıpkı başka kavimler ve topluluklar gibi. Yani Kürtler yekpâre-homojen değildirler. Temsiliyet iddiası, totaliter bir öze yaslanıyorsa sorun var demektir. O yüzden diyorum ki Kürtler adına Kürtlere ideolojik misyon biçenler Kürtlere saygısızlık etmiş olurlar. Bırakınız da Kürtler kendilerine bizatihi kendileri misyon biçsinler. Siz de herkesin misyonuna ve konumuna saygılı davranmayı bileceksiniz.

Hakikaten düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı.

Sabah akşam Kürtlerin tarihi, geçmişi, aidiyeti ve kimliği üzerinden o zehirli dillerinizle kurduğunuz çirkin, yakışıksız, yok varsayıcı, incitici, ötekileştirici ve kardeşliği bozucu bilumum kelimelerinizi de alıp gidin, nereye gidiyorsanız gidin, o fitne saçan dilinizle bozgunculuk diyarı yolunuzu gözlüyor.

Kürdün ne sahibisiniz ne de efendisi.

Kürtlerle efendi-sahip edasıyla konuşan o zehirli diliniz devletimizin bekası ve milletimizin birliği için ciddi bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır.

Akidemiz açısından da çok büyük bir cürüm ve fitne.

Düşün gayrı Kürtlerin yakasından.

Türk ve Türklük maskesinin ardına sığınarak yaptığınız düpedüz Türk’e ve Türklüğe de ihanettir.

Türk Kürdün kardeşidir.

Türklük Kürtlükle anlamlı bir bütündür.

Kürdü Kürdün hasmı kılmak isteyen veya kendinden farklı Kürdü Kürtlük maskesiyle düşmanlaştıran ideolojik Kürtler size de söylüyorum:

Düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı!

Kürtlere dışarıdan veya üstten ideolojik misyon ve gelecek biçenler, siz de düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı!

Sahiden demokrat iseniz evvela Kürtlere gidin, onlara sorun, onların tercihlerini, teklif ve taleplerini öğrenin ve sahiden Kürtler adına konuşacaksanız o doğrultuda konuşun, hareket ediniz!

Gayrısı ideoloji ve misyon dayatmaktır ki bu kabul edilemez anti-demokratik bir tutumdur.

Kürtler veya Kürtlük adına konuşup kendisi gibi düşünmeyen Kürtleri veya ideolojik-siyasi tercihleri farklı olan Kürtleri düşmanlaştıranlar siz de düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı!

Nedir bu Kürtlerin sizlerden çektiği!

Kürdü, Kürdün kendini tarif ettiği şekliyle değil, ancak kendilerinin tarifine uyarsa Kürt kabul eden, başka bir deyişle, kendilerine göre ‘makbul Kürt’ arayan bilumum Kürt ve Türk siyasal-kültürel seçkinleri, sizler de düşün Kürtlerin yakasından gayrı!

Kürtler sizi olduğunuz gibi kabul ediyor.

Sizler de Kürtleri oldukları gibi kabul etmelisiniz.

Gayrısı, fitnedir.

Gayrısı, ayrımı ayrımcılığa dönüştürmektir.

Gayrısı, bölücülüktür, ırkçılıktır, insanlık suçudur, bilesiniz.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I welcome the agreement and permanent ceasefire announced by the government of Syria and the SDF.

I trust this can lay the foundation for lasting peace and ensure that the Kurds can live without fear in a Syria that guarantees their rights.

Norway stands ready to support.

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

La France peut et doit faire bien plus que cela. Elle peut créer un mécanisme de garant composé de plusieurs pays, proposer de manière proactive un mécanisme de suivi et conditionner tout soutien de l’UE au respect des droits humains et politiques des Kurdes en tant que peuple, ainsi que d’autres communautés ethniques et religieuses. La France peut mobiliser pour mandater l’ONU à travers une nouvelle résolution du Conseil de sécurité et faire la médiation sur les dossiers restants ouverts.

Ce n’est pas à moi de lister toutes les actions que la France, pays des droits humains doté de moyens considérables, peut entreprendre. Cependant, il est clair que la France, si elle le souhaite, peut faire beaucoup plus. Le peuple français applaudirait sans aucun doute le gouvernement pour son engagement plus avancé.

@LindseyGrahamSC @SenBlumenthal Thank you for introducing the Save the Kurds Act. In 2019, you personally assured me that the United States would not abandon the Kurds who fought side by side with U.S. partners to defeat ISIS. As Kobani faces siege and Kurdish regions endure daily suffering, this initiative sends a vital message of responsibility, partnership, and commitment—including the need for explicit constitutional protections for Kurdish rights and safety

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

Who will be guarantors of this agreement? Isn’t a must since the lack of trust is very high ? @MazloumAbdi

[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

Today’s announcement of the comprehensive agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) represents a profound and historic milestone in Syria’s journey toward national reconciliation, unity, and enduring stability. This carefully negotiated step, building on earlier frameworks and recent efforts to de-escalate tensions, reflects a shared commitment to inclusion, mutual respect, and the collective dignity of all Syrian communities.

For the Syrian government, this accord demonstrates a steadfast dedication to genuine national partnership and inclusive governance. By facilitating the phased integration of military, security, and administrative structures into unified state institutions — while ensuring senior SDF representatives have opportunities to contribute at high levels — it affirms the principle that Syria’s strength emerges from embracing diversity and addressing the legitimate aspirations of all its peoples. This approach not only consolidates sovereignty across the territory but also sends a clear message of openness and fairness to the international community.

For the Kurdish people, whose extraordinary sacrifices and steadfast resilience have played a pivotal role in defending Syria against extremism and safeguarding vulnerable populations, this moment holds particular significance. The recent implementation of Presidential Decree No. 13 — restoring full Syrian citizenship to those previously affected by historical exclusions, recognizing Kurdish as a national language alongside Arabic, enabling its teaching in relevant areas, and enshrining protections against discrimination — marks a transformative stride toward equality and belonging. These measures correct longstanding injustices, affirm the Kurds’ integral place within the Syrian nation, and open pathways for their full participation in shaping a secure, prosperous, and inclusive future.

In this spirit of shared purpose, both sides have taken courageous steps: the Syrian government in extending meaningful inclusion and rights, and the Kurdish communities in embracing a unified framework that honors their contributions while advancing the common good.

Together, these developments pave the way for rebuilding institutions, restoring trust, attracting the investment essential for reconstruction, and securing lasting peace for all Syrians. With unity forged through dialogue and respect, Syria stands poised to reclaim its rightful place as a beacon of stability and hope in the region and beyond.

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

@barzan_iso Could you provide a timeline? Is there any agreement on third-party monitoring of the implementation? And is there any agreement on the guarantor countries that will support it?

[Mendo Balci @MehBalci]

@Charles_Lister When one loses their mind because of the money they receive, they have no more sense to be ashamed of lying. A force, while withdrawing, ambushes to the enemy!!! Can you explain?

@ceni_v Within which framework would be political and legal recognition?
I think it’s more accurate to ask EU to put pressure on Syria for such a recognition by Syrian government ?
