Erdogan targeting pop singers now! (video+photos)

Famous singer Gencoglu has concerts cancelled

Newsroom August 12 10:02

Turkish President has come under harsh criticism from the international community for using the failed coup attempt in mid-July as a pretext to purge his political opponents and dissenting voices at all levels of Turkish public life, but it appears he is also set his eyes on young after entertainers too. Popular Turkish singer Sila Gencoglu has had her concerts cancelled by the Turkish authorities because she refused to take part in the massive event organised by the Turkish President Erdogan celebrating the failed coup attempt in mid July. The ‘queen’ of Turkish pop was informed that her September concerts, scheduled to take place in Constantinople, had been cancelled due to her refusal to take part on the celebrations against the military coup. The 36-year-old singer had posted a tweet showing her support to the victims of the coup a day after it happened, while on July 20 she had tweeted her support to the Turkish government.
