Şahînê Bekirê Soreklî or Shahin Bekir Sorekli or Chahin Baker (born 1946) is a Kurdish writer, poet, journalist and translator.

In 1977, Soreklî was graduated from Macquarie University in Sydney with the combined degrees BA and Diploma of Education DipEd.

he also hoped it would benefit SBS Radio that broadcast in 68 ethnic languages and the Kurds in Australia and contribute to establishing a united community as he said on an interview[7] As a writer in Kurmanji Kurdish he remained disappointed with the limited numbers of readers.

He advises the Kurdish people to follow in the steps of advanced democracies where free thinking, mutual respect and intellectual awakening are a reality.

If this is the preference then hard work, planning, group-work, discipline and cooperation is needed, all of which are lacking amongst most Kurdish societies today.

A new ideology is needed that can organise peaceful and constructive struggle to secure the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people in the country they are in at this stage.
