The actress questioned Türkiye’s role in the French TV thriller

Turkish actress Melissa Sozen has been questioned by police in Istanbul on suspicion of “promoting terrorist propaganda” in a French TV spy series in 2017.

39 -year -old Sozen played a double agent fighting Islamist terrorists at the hit show The Bureau.

In recent months he has been targeted on social media as his character Acerin is considered to be similar to Syria -based Kurdish Milicia YPG named as a terrorist group in Turkey.

Sozen is believed to have been given a statement to the police on returning to Türkiye from abroad, but according to the DHA news agency, was not taken into custody.

She has been told that the police said that she was unaware that the dress used in the series is similar to a terrorist group and the bureau was not shown in Turkey anyway.

When she came under fire on social media last August, Sozen issued a statement on Instagram stating that there was no praise for any “terrorist organization” in the program, and if there was there in seven years. Happened before it was broadcast.

“I do not accept the false allegations thrown at me,” he insisted. The series was not a hidden project, but a highly popular French crime chain.

Sozen said that she had been working for 25 years and had already developed a thick skin before he was under the internet.

However, he said that facing such misuse was almost impossible for young people with low life experiences.

Sozen’s career began in Turkish TV and film, but he won international praise for the film Winter Sleep, who won Palame D’Or in Cannes in 2014.
