Turkey stops plan to internationally stream TV series ‘Famagusta’ on Netflix

·

After Turkish officials criticised Netflix for promoting ‘propaganda’ by planning to distribute the TV series Famagusta, the streaming giant has allegedly halted its plans to screen the series internationally.

Instead, the series will reportedly premiere on Netflix on September 20 but only in Greece.

In response to criticism of his series Famagusta, director Andreas Georgiou said the message the series was intended to convey was “to love each other”.

Georgiou’s social media activity came after Turkey’s Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK) announced that Famagusta would only appear on the Greek version of Netflix and would not be available in any other country.

“As the organisation that regulates and supervises digital broadcasting services in our country, [we have] held the necessary meetings with the broadcaster Netflix and an understanding has been reached that the production will not be broadcast [outside Greece],” Ebubekir Sahin, head of RTUK, said in a social media post.

He added that “the production in question will only be included in the Netflix catalog in the country where it was previously broadcast (Greece), and will not be included in Turkey or any other country’s catalog.”
