EP47 Turkey today, Erdoğan, LGBTQ and Kebab - Ivak Cagil (Part 2)
Ivak is a Turkish photographer and filmmaker in Prague who also works for a living in a "real job" as his mom told him he would have to do when he got interested in arts back home in Bursa in Turkey.
In this Part 2 out of 2 episodes we discussed how Turkey today is a melting pot of very diverse cultures of conservative religious groups vs then more liberal groups in and around the bigger cities in the western part of the country.
Unless you have been to Istanbul you probably would not imagine that some of the biggest celebrities, actors and singers are openly gay. And this is just one of the examples of the contrast in this society.
We discussed Erdoğan the controversial president of Turkey, what he has done right, what he is doing wrong and where the real political power rests in the country.
And there is no talk about Turkey without the classic Kebab question being discussed...
