  • ANKARA: Turkish Historian's TV Show Fined For Insulting Kardashian,

    TURKISH HISTORIAN'S TV SHOW FINED FOR INSULTING KARDASHIAN, AUDIENCE

    Hurriyet Daily News, Turkey
    Sept 22 2014

    A Turkish TV show has been fined 600,000 Turkish Liras by the
    country's media watchdog after a popular historian used insulting
    words against the audience and Hollywood celebrity Kim Kardashian,
    according to daily Milliyet.

    Murat Bardakcı broadcast the French song "Sur Ma Vie" by Charles
    Aznavur while appearing live on a TV program on the private Haberturk
    station. However, when he read the audience's reactions via social
    media, he noticed outrage at his playing "an Armenian song."

    "They say, 'How dare you broadcast an Armenian song?' Whoa, come on,
    that [song] is French. Okay, you don't listen to it really, the song
    is in French, and the guy is Armenian," Bardakcı said during the show.

    "You are stupid and an idiot. Why do you look at Kim Kardashian's
    butt? She is Armenian, too," he added.

    The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK) said Bardakcı used
    an insulting manner while reacting to audience's criticism over the
    broadcasting of Aznavur's song, and fined Haberturk 600,000 liras
    for Bardakcı's statements.

    The watchdog said Bardakcı's words "did not respect human honor and
    were insulting," and also included slang.
