Disney Plus faces backlash for not broadcasting Atatürk series

A US-based TV series-film platform has sparked widespread reaction after it canceled the Atatürk TV series, which it had initially announced it would broadcast. The platform, which started its operations in Türkiye last year, had announced the broadcasting of the Atatürk series. However, in recent weeks, the platform removed its domestic content and declared that it would not be airing the Atatürk series. This decision has led to a series of critical responses from Turkish citizens and politicians.

Gürbüz Evren attributed the cancellation to the influence of the powerful Armenian lobby in the USA, particularly in the US Senate and the Union of Representatives. He stated that the Armenian diaspora's negative propaganda against Türkiye and Atatürk is significant due to Atatürk's historical role in opposing the idea of an independent Armenia. He also linked the recent improvement of relations between Türkiye, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the backlash from the Armenian lobby in the USA.
