that he looks like Serbian Director Emir Kusturica who had already left Turkey.
As NEWS.am reported earlier, Emir Kusturica left the festival in a protest against a campaign launched against him in Turkey. Turkish director Semih Kaplanoglu withdrew his drama “Bal” (Honey) from the festival. In his turn, Turkish Culture Minister Ertugrul Gunay stated he would not participate in festival, as famous Serbian director is one of the jury members.
Kusturica was enraged by the statements addressed to him by Turkish art critics and politicians. If Mr. Kaplanoglu is so sensitive about genocides, why he does not speak of the Armenian Genocide during World War I, he said. The director was condemned for his pro-Serbian position during war in former Jugoslavia.
