Hi,
It's Turkish. That's why your palestinian said it's farsi and iranian friend said it's arabic

The first inscription is simply the owner's name: Ahmed

The second one is: Elde bıçak gerek dilde sübhan-which can be roughly translated as "One should have sword(knife) in his hands and the Subhan (popular name for Sorat Al-Isra from Quran) in his tongue."

I could only read the third and fourth inscriptions partially, I will try to give it more thought.

Best,
