ALBAWABA - Can Yaman's latest remarks stir backlash as GAIN pulls El Turco from its platform.
Following Can Yaman's declaration that he favored Italy over Turkey, GAiN made the decision to remove the series "El Turco" from distribution on the platform.
A startling decision was made by GAİN, one of the biggest digital broadcasting platforms in Turkey, regarding the series "El Turco," starring the well-known actor Can Yaman. This decision has brought GAİN to the forefront of the discussion. When Yaman stated in an interview that he preferred Italy over Turkey, he received a lot of positive feedback.

It was declared by GAiN that the series "El Turco" was taken from the platform, taking into consideration the responses and social sensitivities that were expressed by the general population. The following words were included in the statement that was released by the company: "We would like to emphasize the importance that we attach to the sensitivities of the Turkish nation."
Some of the terms that Can Yaman, the lead actor of our series El Turco, used in an interview that he did overseas in the past few days have produced a variety of interpretations among the general public and have brought about a number of different sensitivities. We, as GAİN, would want to highlight that we address this matter in an open manner and that we always respect the principles that were established by our society.
While the response that Can Yaman gave to the phrase "Italy" caused social media users to be split, the decision that GAİN made also created a fresh controversy in the field of digital publication.
For the time being, the future of the El Turco series is still unknown; nonetheless, all eyes are currently focused on the latest words made by the well-known actor.
