Turkey: “Greek God” in the subway of Constantinople upset the Islamists

The attempt to criticize the mayor of Constantinople, Ekrem Imamoglou, did not work

Newsroom November 11 11:45

The last “episode” of the popular electronic game God of War Ragnarök for Playstation has been available for a few days now, in which the “Greek God”, Kratos, once again stars.

As expected, along with the game’s release, there was a major worldwide advertising campaign that also featured Kratos.

The image of the “Greek God”, however, seems to have angered some Islamists in Turkey and specifically in Constantinople who were disturbed when they saw the Greek God on the subway wagons.

The biggest reaction came from the president of the Confederation of the National Survival Movement, Murat Sahin, who targeted the mayor of Constantinople – and one of Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s great political opponents – Ekrem Imamoglu.

“There are claims that Ekrem Imamoglu has photos of the so-called Greek God Kratos in the subway! My God save Istanbul”, Sahin wrote on Twitter accompanying his post with photos.

This criticism, however, was not accepted by several Twitter users who answered to Sahin that instead of celebrating that such a game is being advertised in the Constantinople Metro, he took the opportunity to complain, accusing him of instrumentalizing the issue of religion.

“Look before you start whining. God of War is a game for PlayStation and PC. It’s just an ad because it’s a very successful game”, another user wrote.

After the uproar that was caused, he tried to justify himself for the criticism he made by writing that “your mind is not enough to understand what I wanted to say. I wanted young people to understand that Imamolgou is a lover of Greece” (sic).
