Valley of the Wolves, one of the most phenomenal productions in the history of Turkish television, continues to be discussed for its social impact even years after its finale. Two veterans of the series, Sel\u00e7uk Y\u00f6ntem and Zafer Ergin's critical approaches to the project sparked a new debate on social media.<\/p>\n

Sel\u00e7uk Y\u00f6ntem \u201cIt Left Negative Traces on Young People\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The master actor who is remembered for his character \u2018Aslan Akbey\u2019 in the series Sel\u00e7uk Y\u00f6ntem<\/strong>, In a program he recently participated in, Y\u00f6ntem drew attention to the sociological effects of the series. While stating that the light it shed on state-mafia relations in the early stages of the project was valuable, Y\u00f6ntem made a self-criticism:<\/p>\n \u201dThe lack of punishment for criminals and the presentation of violence as a solution may have had a negative impact on young people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Zafer Ergin: \u201cI quit because it was harmful\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Sel\u00e7uk Y\u00f6ntem's exit brought to mind another master name Zafer Ergin<\/strong>\u2019s striking statements made years ago. Ergin, who gave life to the character of \u2018Baron Mehmet Karahanl\u0131\u2019 in the series, attributed the reason for leaving the project when he was at the top to his \u201cprinciples\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ergin had used the following statements in an interview he gave just before he started the Arka Sokaklar series:<\/p>\n \u201dI quit because I found it harmful:\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI left the Valley of the Wolves because it led to bad habits and harmed society, and there were very sympathetic financial offers for me to continue.\u201d <\/p>\n Social Media Divided<\/strong><\/p>\n The criticisms of the two veteran actors, who met at the same point after years, divided the viewers into two. While some argued that the series was a work of art reflecting the realities of a period, others agreed with Y\u00f6ntem and Ergin's concerns about \u201csocial corruption\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n News Editor Dilek Bozkurt<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" T\u00fcrk televizyon tarihinin en fenomen yap\u0131mlar\u0131ndan biri olan Kurtlar Vadisi, finalinin \u00fczerinden y\u0131llar ge\u00e7mesine ra\u011fmen toplumsal etkisiyle tart\u0131\u015f\u0131lmaya devam ediyor.
