Muharrem Ertaş

Istanbul's transportation network has commemorated the renowned Turkish folk singer Neşet Ertaş with specially designed buses on the 12th anniversary of his death.

These buses, featuring quotes from Ertaş's famous folk songs, will operate for one week in Istanbul, bridging both the European and Asian sides of the city.

The statue of Neşet Ertaş, a legendary folk singer and poet, who died in 2012, has been attacked in the Central Anatolian province of Kırşehir.

While it has not yet been determined who attacked the statue, the police launched a large-scale investigation into the incident.

The life story of Turkish folk music legend Neşet Ertaş, who is fondly remembered as the "Bozkırın Tezenesi" (Voice of Prairie) in the country and was declared as a living human treasure by UNESCO before he died, will be made into a biopic.
