TBMM Digital Media Commission, AK Party Hatay Deputy Hüseyin Yayman convened under his chairmanship. The commission discussed Disney Plus’ decision not to broadcast the Atatürk series. Commission Chairman Hüseyin Yayman stated that what Disney did was a clear violation of censorship, rights and freedoms. “Who are you to cancel whatever content is made to Turkey’s founding leader? We do not know whether there is pressure from the Armenian diaspora, pressure from groups in the USA, or something to do with the content. They want to come and explain this themselves. That’s why we should listen to them.” said. Yayman pointed out that they should be asked why Disney+ made such a decision, “A decision was made to broadcast the documentary on television and not on Disney Plus. I don’t find this right either. We expect Disney Plus officials to apologize to the Turkish nation on this matter. We would like to hear from them the reason for the decision taken. That’s why I think it is a very right decision to invite Disney representatives to the commission.“ he said.

The following statement was made for the movie “Atatürk 1881-1919”, the impressive trailer of which you can watch on the page: “ATATÜRK 1st Movie, “A Mehmet Ada Öztekin movie”, which tells the story of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from his childhood years to the War of Independence, will be in cinemas on November 3. Mustafa was born in Thessaloniki at the end of the 19th century. The bandit attacks his father suffered naturally had a bad effect on him.
First, his father Ali Rıza Bey’s business deteriorates, then his health deteriorates. He dies after a while. For Zübeyde Hanım, her son is the center of the world and nothing should happen to him. The future he thinks about for his son is to go to the neighborhood school and become a teacher in accordance with the tradition in his devout family. The size of this future dream of Zübeyde Hanım is only as small as a grain of straw compared to the huge fire inside little Mustafa.
Mustafa Kemal graduated from the academy as Staff Captain in 1905. From 1905 to 1919, he served in all corners of the Ottoman lands, from Syria to Tripoli, from Thessaloniki to Kars. What he sees is that the administration in his country has already gotten out of control, and that merit and patriotism no longer exist.
There are not many options left for Mustafa Kemal. In his own words, the country is burning like his father’s logs burned by bandits. Someone must do something to save him. As Namık Kemal said, the enemy has plunged its dagger into the heart of the homeland. But of course, there will be someone who will save his unfortunate situation.”
