- In 2016, the Turkish TV series ‘Diriliş Ertuğrul’ won the Golden Butterfly Award for Best TV Series. Cavit Çetin Güner, who accepted the award on behalf of his team, uploaded a post calling out the award show for showing double standards. Cavit said that they received the award but were not allowed to give an award acceptance speech. [3]Daily Sabah He added,
They presented the award to our series perforce, which has been not only the most-watched daytime series but also the most-watched series of the month. I am saying ‘perforce’ because the series surely deserves to receive awards for best actor best production and best director as well but they are not willing to present us these awards since we are not one of them. Tonight, they presented the award for ‘Best TV Series’ half-heartedly and they showed us the way to the backstage without offering us the microphone to speak. Wednesday ratings every week demonstrate our value to those who understand… the value of this award is shown in the photo… my shoe is of more value…”

My mother’s treatment lasted three years. For those three years, I lived in fear that she would leave. Interestingly, my relationships always last three years. As we get closer to the end, I’ve been breaking the ropes in the last six months. I’m walking away from the relationship. I think I got that kind of inheritance when I was 13-14 years old, because of my mother’s loss. I always think women will leave me one day.”
