I spoke at the UK Parliament about my book, Writing Resistance, published by @AuroraMetro , and the Kurdish question.
My warm thanks to CEFTUS @CeftusOrg and its chair İbrahim Doğuş, for organising the event, and to Bambos Charalambous MP for hosting us.
Thank you to Sami Kent from The Guardian for moderating the discussion, and to everyone who attended for their interest.

IS DEMOCRACY DELIVERING FOR PEOPLE?
We change politicians. We change governments. But do we ever question the system itself?
Join me at the House of Lords on 20 October to debate what's wrong with our democracy and how we might fix it.

An important opportunity to discuss Libya with @burhanduran following concerning escalations in Tripoli. The UK and Türkiye are united on the importance of the political process, international support and tackling shared security threats.

A disaster faces Sudan. Its conflict is resolvable & famine can be stopped if only the world takes an interest. The first demonstration I ever went on was for Darfur, addressed by then @BoardofDeputies President @HCGQC. Today, SVP Adrian Cohen and I met @sudansicg to learn more.

My quick take for @RUSI_org on today’s developments—alongside expert insights from colleagues. Full text at the link below.
Pandora's box has been cast wide open with Israel's sweeping overnight air campaign against Iranian targets—an escalation that risks reshaping the strategic landscape of the Middle East.
By targeting senior IRGC leadership and nuclear infrastructure deep inside Iranian territory, Israel has forcefully challenged assumptions about Iran’s deterrence posture.
What comes next may define the regional security order for years to come and the risk of regional escalation remains high. The type, targets and scale of Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel will determine whether the US will be compelled to mobilise military action to support Israel in the event of a coordinated, large-scale counterattack by Iran that overwhelms Israel’s defences.

Dün @CeftusOrg tarafından İngiltere Parlamentosunda düzenlenen toplantıda, ülkemizde yaşanan son gelişmeleri ve barış sürecini konuştuk.
Bir kez daha ifade etmek gerekir ki; kalıcı bir barış için genel af şarttır. Türkiye’de “terör” suçu anlayışı değişmediği müddetçe, toplumsal birliktelik mümkün değildir.
