Durgan provokes ongoing controversy in Turkey with his new play. What lyrics do messages send against Erdogan?

Released on Thursday at 9pm (6pm GMT), the song “Geccek” (“Will Pass”) has already garnered over 12.6 million views on the artist’s YouTube channel (until Saturday, February 19).

On the chorus, the Turkish megastar, best known for his 1997 hit “Simarik”, promises that “there is an end to everything” and that “all this suffering will pass.”

The lyrics of the song “Geccek” echo the country’s economic crisis, with inflation of almost 50% and the chances of young people declining. “If you ask me, I’m not well, I do not have the same hope, I do not enjoy life much.

“Wasn’t he always in the corner? / Did he not hit us in the back? / This was not the first blow / We fell, yes, but we did not get up? / Did he not always push us into the corner? / Did he not stab us? Back, forward? / How many feet was this first? No./We fell, but got up, didn’t we? / Did I always challenge the rule? / Do not worry piece.

In a later YouTube post, Durgan said he wrote the song to raise people’s spirits during the Govt-19 epidemic.

“About a year ago, I went through a period of my mental illness. The tragic events of the world, the dangerous course of humanity, the destruction of nature, the plagues have affected me so negatively. I wanted to write a song that would help all of us. Who knows, maybe it will give you some comfort? , I thought it would boost your morale and confidence.I hope this is good for all of us, the singer explained.

Controversy among Turkish politicians

However, the song was quickly distributed by opposition politicians who posted messages on social media, and the lyrics of the song refer to the ruling party in Turkey.

Among them are the leader of the main opposition CHP and several key members and Izmir Mayor Tung Sawyer.

“It simply came to our notice then. They will leave and the problems will end. “What is coming, is coming,” CHP MP Gamze Akkuş lgezdi wrote on Twitter.

Aylin Nazlıaka, president of the CHP Women’s Organization, also responded. “As Durgan, who is always the translator of our emotions, says, ‘He will depart as he came, there is an end to everything, and this test will come to an end,’ he wrote on Twitter.

Meral Aksener, leader of the nationalist opposition IYI, redistributed the song with the theme “The worst is over.”

On the contrary, supporters of President Edogan call Targan a “troll.”

“They (opposition representatives, no) have no plans or plans. They are comforted by a goblin singer. There can be no opposition, not even hope for the logician. They shamelessly want to rule the state,” said Albay, a member of the AKP (Justice and Development Party – ruling party in Turkey). Osalan wrote on Twitter.

Hacı Yakışıklı, a spokeswoman for the pro-government newspaper Akit, said the lyrics were “written from Pennsylvania”, indicating the residence of cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Although the name of Erdogan, who has ruled Turkey for 19 years, and his position are not mentioned in the song, controversy has arisen. He became prime minister in 2003 and then president in 2014, and Erdogan is expected to be re-elected in June 2023.

Durgan was born in Turkey to Turkish parents and came to Turkey at the age of 14. The 49-year-old singer recently became famous for his environmental work.
