IN SE Turkey was enough to deserve the pillory once attack the figure of Mustapha Kemal, who was the man who in 1934 became the "Father of the Turks" by special decree, now simply tarnish the image of a former sultan. It happens in these days the producers of the serial The magnificent century, when the golden age of the Ottoman Empire is told through the life of Sultan Suleyman (1520 - 1566) as an era of shady intrigues and debauched morals .The fiction was first groomed by powerful RTUK, the High Committee for the turkish radio and television, a sort of local Supervision Commission, that the historical telenovela "offends the national and moral values of society and the Turkish family." It is not a trivial matter in a country where many writers have been condemned for having "insulted the nation." But the magnificent Century has applied the ban also a huge amount of viewers outraged, claiming that their authors would have done better to insist on the enormous work done by the sultan as a legislator (built the sharia with a law to regulate every aspect of the life of the state), rather than the massage that dispensed Hamam his concubines of the imperial palace.
They have also angered some organizations allied with the Islamic government in Ankara, saying that in two episodes broadcast so far Suleiman the Magnificent, "one of the great sultans of history, is presented as a drunk and a sex maniac." As for the deputy prime minister, Bulent Arinc, he said that "those who dare to humiliate these people, representing them in the wrong way, deserves to be punished." In this angry outburst of nationalist history, it obviously could not miss those who attribute the blame on foreign powers.
To the columnist Samil Tayyar are in fact "Westerners who encouraged the porn to weaken the neo-Ottoman ottomanesimo", you mean the great return of Turkey on the Middle East chessboard. Finally, against the magnificent century fell into the streets of Istanbul, a group of Islamic extreme right: the protesters were dressed as Janissaries, who were the force which he could rely on Suleiman to implement its reforms and that were once considered the elite the Ottoman army.
However, despite the protests on Wednesday, 35 percent of the Turkish TV show has run on the channel tuned to follow the first approach of the young sultan erotic woman who becomes the love of his life, the splendid Rosselana, daughter of a priest Ukrainian Orthodox. "I'm not surprised, because we are viewers who get excited even if they see the nipples of a cow," the director says Can Dundar, who was fiercely attacked for having made a documentary about Mustapha Kemal, in which dared to show even the human failings of the father of the Turks.
