Turkish pop diva Sezen Aksu incurs wrath over ‘insult to Islam’

Uslu claims he did this “so that no harm would come to the channels.” “We made a warning about Sezen Aksu’s song which has recently come to the public agenda,” he told BirGün. “We definitely didn’t give an instruction like ‘Don’t play Sezen Aksu’. We don’t have such legal power anyway,” he said. “The song is being probed and while the discretion lies with the outlets, we warned them to act cautiously so that they won’t be aggrieved. Because if a problem is found, we will have to take action and the outlets will face administrative fines all of a sudden.”
