    TV dramas like Dirilis: Ertugrul have gained global popularity and continue to shape Turkey's national narrative.

      Ertugrul is a show about the "noble" Ottoman conquests of Europe. This is on Wikipedia for crying out loud:

      The show has been well received, particularly in Pakistan and Azerbaijan.[3][4][5] However, several countries in the Arab world have banned the show and fatwas have been issued against it.[6][7][8] The show has also received criticism for a lack of historical accuracy,[9] depiction of non-Muslims in a negative manner and for glorifying Islamic fundamentalism.[2][10]
      Everyone needs to discourage Netflix and Greek TV bosses from showing these Turkish shows. All Turkish shows.

        Netflix scuttled plans to begin recording a Turkish show called “If Only” after the Culture Ministry, which reviews all scripts of internationally sponsored productions, sought the removal of a gay character, according to a person familiar with Netflix’s thinking. The Los Gatos, California-based company, which was to have produced the show in cooperation with a local company, didn’t agree to any script modifications and canceled it instead, the person said.

          A rare victory. ANT 1 cancels one of its many Turkish soaps in protest to Agia Sofia.

          https://greekcitytimes.com/2020/07/2...ia-conversion/

          From the article:

          At a time when Turkish aggression against Greece is manifesting itself in the most insidious forms of hybrid warfare; at a time when an extremist Turkey is humiliating every day the notion of our country’s maritime and air borders; at a time when almost all high-ranking Turkish officials are indulging in unstoppable verbal bullying against us with various silly pretexts; at a time when well-known Turkish “artists” are creating songs with wishes to “send” the coronavirus to Greece; at a time when the neo-Ottoman expansion invades like a modern pirates the Cypriot Economic Exclusion Zone, as well as Syria and Libya, we continue to watch indifferently through the receivers of our television the spiritual castration of the Greek society in order for a few channel masters to make profit, International Hellenic Association said.

              Greek TV stations cut Turkish series due to Hagia Sophia provocation


              Author: Thema Newsroom | Published: August 5, 20201

              Greek commercial stations were content to tow the line of Turkish propaganda due to low costs
              Greek commercial TV stations decided to cut Turkish serials aired on their channels following Turkish President Erdogan’s provocations with Hagia Sophia and the constant threats in the Aegean Sea against Greece.

              Since 2005 Greek commercial TV was flooded with sub-par Turkish soap productions with their ratings sometimes hitting or exceeding 50%.

              Over the years, the Turkish subculture of fiction, largely of mediocre production value in content and story-line compare to the ones from the European and American markets, found a prominent spot on the private channel programs, as the kitsch series were an easy and above all cheap solution for TV programming executives to fill in holes .

              ANT1 decided to can the daily Turkish TV series which was to be broadcast in the summer. The “Forbidden Apple”, whose rights the station had bought, was withdrawn by a unanimous decision of the executives, who ruled that in such a period of escalation of the neighbor’s provocation, Turkish production has no place on Greek television.

              In 2012, the then Turkish Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism, Abdurrahman Arici, had stated clearly the goal of his government: “With the Turkish series we can enter every house and spread Turkish culture”. The Turkish producers, in collaboration with the political leadership, had found ways to disseminate their propaganda: cheap costs, but only under the condition of not dubbing the Turkish language with the host country’s language.

              In other words, the Turkish TV series would only be cheap if the Turkish language was heard on the screen. Greek TV executives were quick to snap up the bargain, either completely ignorant of how entertainment can be used as a tool of propaganda, or totally cynical and indifferent caring only about the bottom line. In a piece on Turkish news site hurriyetdailynews.com it was reported at the time that “despite the negative criticism of the serials, they are increasing the interest of the people in the Turkish language and culture.”

              The Turkish series industry grew and the neighboring country’s series were sold in dozens of countries. In the first years these TV productions were aired abroad, tourists to Turkey increased, while many travelers were showing interest in visiting the sights shown in the TV series.

              As far as the depiction of historical events in the TV series, the Turkish warlords were always presented as the absolute victors against their enemy, while a sense of strict law and adherence to the Islamic norms and customs were always prevalent.

                Οπως αναφέρουν πηγές από το κανάλι σχολιάζοντας την απόφαση του ΑΝΤ1, είναι λογικό να αποσυρθούν οι τουρκικές σειρές από το πρόγραμμα, κάτι που συμβαίνει και στο πρόγραμμα του ΣΚΑΪ, αλλά όχι και να διακοπεί η συνεργασία με σημαντικούς ανθρώπους οι οποίοι έχουν απλώς τουρκική καταγωγή.

                Αυτό που βεβαίως ισχύει επίσης είναι ότι ο συγκεκριμένος άνθρωπος είναι από τους πιο στενούς φίλους του Ερντογάν και «μέγας κρίκος» του συστήματος σήμερα στην Τουρκία.
                So Skai will not renew seasons for the Turkish ripoff of the Good Doctor nor that series featuring the Albanian Turk mentioned earlier in the thread (the one who visited Greece to some fanfare).

                The article I posted below offers a timeline and figures that detailed the extent of Turkish programming on Greek television. Only one show remains now on Greek TV: "Elif" on Star. Given how things have been heating up lately with our "neighbors," they should rethink their commitment to that programming.
                Tα τουρκικά σίριαλ κόβονται από την ΤV λόγω των προκλήσεων Ερντογάν σε Αγια-Σοφιά και Αιγαίο αλλά ο Ατζούν μένει - Από το 2005 οι τουρκικές παραγωγές κατακλύζουν την ελληνική τηλεόραση με τηλεθέαση που μερικές φορές ξεπέρασε το 50%

                  Shame on Star for not removing it.

                  Excellent article btw.

                    For anyone who wishes to protest Star's decision to continue airing a Turkish program:

                    Anyone who feels an “individual case” and wishes to protest STAR TV for the transmission of thousands of “episodes” of Turkish “soft power” propaganda in every Greek home, can call daily 211 18 91 000, 211 18 92 000 and 211 18 91 004 or send an email of protest to the Public Relations department of the channel (pr@star.gr), so that we can finally see if there will be more who (supposedly) “do not want the Turkish series to be interrupted!”
                    STAR TV station is the only Greek nationwide station which continues incessantly, for years, to transmit in every Greek house the Turkish language and Turkish

                        The TV drama “Ertugrul” reveals how neo-Ottoman fantasies are finding an enthusiastic audience in a country that struggles with Saudi and Western influence.

                          Did Star pull it or are they still distributing Turkish propaganda?
