Can Yaman's remarks lead to the removal of 'El Turco' series

Can Yaman, who has been living in Italy for some time, responded to the question 'Turkey or Italy?' during an interview by stating that he prefers Italy. This statement caused a widespread reaction on social media and was criticized by many.

Following these remarks by Can Yaman, GAİN decided to remove the series 'El Turco' from its platform. The platform stated that it took this decision while considering the sensitivities of the Turkish nation.

''In recent days, some expressions used by Can Yaman, one of the actors in our series 'El Turco', in an interview given abroad have been the subject of various assessments in the public eye and have brought about various sensitivities. As GAİN, we would like to emphasize that we approach all opinions and criticisms on this matter with an open heart and that we always care about the sensitivities of our nation.

'El Turco' is a production that aims to tell the story of the Ottoman Empire's influence, courage, and cultural richness in Europe, based on an inspiring period of our history.

However, we observe with regret that the perception formed in the public eye has moved to a point that contradicts the fundamental approach of the series and the values of our channel.

In this direction, taking all these sensitivities into account, we have decided to remove the 'El Turco' series from our platform. This decision is a reflection of our responsible broadcasting approach and our commitment to maintaining the trust relationship we have established with our people.

As GAİN, we respectfully announce to the public that we will continue our mission to tell the culture and history of these lands with a universal language, and that we will continue our path with respectful and inclusive productions that bring differences together.''
