The agreement for friendship and twinning between Barcelona and
Istanbul was signed on January 5, 1997. With this agreement, Barcelona
and Istanbul, they intend to intensify the existing relationships
between the two cities. The objective is to promote actions that allow
the exchange of knowledge and experiences in municipal management and
deepen in human relations between its citizens between the Catalan and
Turkish cities. Twinning constitutes a mutual commitment to establish
links of common interest between the two municipalities.
On October 9, Batlle of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, explained the
support of his city to the invasion, without any pretext, of the North
of Syria. This faces the values of peace, non-violence, international
legality, respect among peoples, who claim to defend Barcelona. The
invasion is generating a humanitarian catastrophe of two million people
and supposes violations of the Geneva Convention with bombings against
civil zones and murders of unarmed civilians or policies like Hevrîn
Helef, general secretary of the Party for the Future of Syria.
