Ali Burak Ceylan and Ahmet Haktan Zavlak lend their voices to Palestine
Turkish actors Ali Burak Ceylan, 32, and Ahmet Haktan Zavlak, 22, have broken their silence over the devastating war against Palestine that’s been going on since last week.
Ali Burak Ceylan and Ahmet Haktan Zavlak are the first actors in Turkey to open up and support Palestine since the beginning of the current war on October 7, 2023.
Ali Burak Ceylan voices his solidarity to Palestine
Star of Benim Hayatim, Ali Burak Ceylan, has shared a powerful statement with his 1.2 million followers on Instagram, declaring his full support to Palestine.
He started by sharing his picture while wrapping the Palestinian keffiyeh around his neck, which is a symbol of Palestinian nationalism.
Ali hasn’t shared his statement in one language only, but he expressed his stance in three languages, in his mother tongue Turkish, as well as in Arabic and English.
He wrote:
“Bir zulme engel olamıyorsanız ,onu herkese duyurun” HZ Ali… #palestine
إن كنت لا تستطيع رفع الظلم، فأخبر عنه الجميع على الأقل” #palestine
“If you can’t eliminate injustice, at least tell everyone about it. #palestine”
In addition to his post, Ali Burak Ceylan shared a video on Instagram Stories showing the deadly attacks on Palestine and Syria.
Then he posted another story by AJ+ highlighting the catastrophic situation in Gaza.
Ahmet Haktan Zavlak stands with Palestine
Forbidden Apple star Turkish actor Ahmet Haktan Zavlak has shared a story with his 517K followers on Instagram explaining how Israel is breaking International law under the title “3 facts all the world should know!”
Do you think that Turkey’s A-listers, such as: Kerem Bürsin, Tuba Büyüküstün, Burak Deniz, Hande Erçel, Neslihan Atagül, Can Yaman, Demet Özdemir, and more, will jump in and support Palestine like they did in 2021? Or will they keep their current silence?
