My new op-ed for @RudawEnglish explains why abandoning the Kurds would constitute a strategic and moral failure for the West.
In my piece, I argue that Western governments must stop treating the Kurds as a merely transactional ally, and instead recognize that a permanent, stable partnership is essential, not only for the future of the Middle East, but for global security and for the moral credibility of the West itself.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Kürt Halkına ve Kamuoyuna,
Görüyorum ki bazı kötü niyetli çevreler, gündemde olan bir sanatçının paylaşımını bahane ederek meseleyi Kürtlerin birliğini parçalayacak bir mecraya çekmeye çalışıyorlar. Kendilerine "Kürt Milliyetçisi" gibi yapay ve iddialı isimler yakıştırarak, güya dokunulmaz ve kutsal bir zırha bürünmeye yelteniyorlar.
Yine esefle şahit oluyorum ki, işinize gelmediği için benim de ismimi ve paylaşımlarımı karalamaya yelteniyor; Kürt halkının kutsal birliğine korkunç zararlar verecek argümanlar üretmeye çabalıyorsunuz.
Sizlere kötü bir haberim var: Bu beyhude çabalarınız asla amacına ulaşamayacaktır!
Ben, ömrünü Kürt ve Kürdistan davasına adamış bir sanatçıyım. Eğer bir gün gözlerimden biri bile bu kutlu yola şaşı bakacak olursa, hiç tereddüt etmeden o gözü yerinden söküp atarım! Eğer kalbim bu davanın aleyhine, halkımın zararına çarpacak olursa, onu göğsümden söküp fırlatmaktan bir an bile imtina etmem!
Kuşkusuz insanız; hatalarımız olur ve olacaktır. Eksiklerimiz var ve var olmaya devam edecektir. Aramızda suç işleyenler de çıkabilir. Fakat tüm bunları tartacak, eğriyle doğruyu birbirinden ayıracak yegâne terazi; yukarıda bahsettiğim o sarsılmaz Kürt ve Kürdistani duruştur, harcanan o ömürlük emektir.
Soruyorum size: "Birakujî" (kardeş kavgası) son bulsun diye ömrünü feda eden, kendini paralayan bir insandan, sizler nasıl bir Kürt birliği karşıtlığı devşirmeye çalışıyorsunuz?
Bu beyhude bir gayrettir.
Yol yakınken bu karanlık dehlizlerden çıkın; halkınızın davasına ve onun asil hizmetine omuz verin. İçinizdeki bu karşıtlık, kör kin ve intikam duygusu, ne yazık ki tedavisi mümkün olmayan marazi bir hastalığa doğru evrilmektedir.
Bu halkın bir büyüğü, bir evladı olarak sizleri, Kürt ve Kürdistani değerlere saygılı olmaya davet ediyorum.
Benim kabem Kürdistan’dır!
Onu var eden, onu ilelebet yaşatmak uğruna canlarını feda eden aziz şehitlerimiz ve bu kutsal mirası sonsuza dek omuzlarında taşıyacak olan Kürt kardeşlerimdir.
Saygı ve Sevgilerimle,
Şivan Perwer
How beautiful it is to be simple and true to yourself, instead of forcing yourself into something that doesn’t fit you. This path is what will keep Kurdishness and Kurdistan alive. #NewrozPîrozBe
“We don't need any help”
Trump lashes out at "foolish" NATO over Iran, saying the US needs no help after allies rebuffed his calls to join efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

spoke to @cnni earlier today. I thanked @POTUS & the United States for the commitment to defeat the Islamic regime on the battlefield, for following through on his word that help is on the way. Our forces are in a defensive posture & have not crossed any borders. Iran's Kurdish parties are united & we are ready to form a broader coalition of opposition orgs and leaders to take Iran back from the regime.
@WhiteHouse, @DeptofWar, @StateDept
La France est attachée à la stabilité et à la sécurité de l’Irak et de la région autonome du Kurdistan en son sein.
Je me suis entretenu avec le Président Nechirvan Barzani pour lui exprimer ma solidarité face aux attaques de ces derniers jours.
Nous sommes convenus de poursuivre nos efforts pour éviter une extension du conflit à l’ensemble de la région. Je l'ai remercié de son engagement en ce sens.
La France continue de soutenir le plein respect de la souveraineté, de la sécurité, et de l’intégrité territoriale de l’Irak, y compris du Kurdistan.
Kurds in Iran have resisted the regime for decades. Their struggle is rooted in dignity, identity, language, and basic rights long denied to them.
This struggle did not begin with the Islamic Republic. #Kurds were already demanding constitutional and linguistic rights under the Shah, when #Kurdish cultural and political demands were also severely suppressed.
For many Kurds, messages of @POTUS resonate at a time when they see a dangerous moment but also a rare and precious opportunity. After decades of repression, even a small opening for freedom carries enormous meaning. That is why Kurdish resistance in #Iran has never disappeared and Kurdish forces say they are ready to act in this historic moment. @cnni #EpicFury #Iranianwar
Pleased to share this piece that I wrote for @ForeignPolicy on the possible Kurdish role amid the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran.
I’ve tried to address some of the misconceptions out there and provide critical context about the significance and drivers of this situation as far as Iranian Kurds in Iran (and Iraq) are concerned.
"Monitoring reactions in Kurdish media and social media spaces, as well as conversations with Kurdish observers across the region, indicates that many Kurds view potential participation in the conflict as both a risky gambit and a historic opportunity. If successful, such involvement could improve the political status and prospects of Kurds within Iran. If it fails, however, the consequences could be disastrous, creating significant liabilities for Kurdish communities in both Iran and Iraq. At this fraught moment, the best path for Iranian Kurds—and a democratic Iran—requires cooperation between ethnic minority groups and the broader Iranian opposition."

No Kurds don’t want a decentralized blah blah blah far-left trash experiment for Rojhelat, East Kurdistan.
Why? So you can scramble last minute like you did in Rojava trying to accomplish what we told you to do the entire last decade in a week?
Kurds want complete autonomy and if there’s a shot at it, independence.
There’s no confusion.
Kurds won’t allow the failures and Kurdistan hating ideologies that tarnished Rojava to spill into Rojhelat.
#BREAKING: US President Donald Trump and General Secretary of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) Mustafa Hijri had "a very positive conversation" over the phone, a high-level KDPI source tells The New Region
Today is truly a great day for Kurds, Balochs, and all the Iranian people, as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is finally gone. For decades, this oppressive regime’s leaders have executed thousands of Kurdish people and other opponents through hangings and brutal repression.
Now the big question: Is the goal here just a change in leadership, or a full regime change? I truly hope it is the latter, without bloodshed of innocent people.
