Diliris Ertugral - If Love has a name

By Sasha Scheherzade

If love has a name, it's Diliris Ertugrul.

Why? Believe it or not, this casts magic strong enough to captivate viewers.  One with doubts will understand after tuning in the first episode.


Diliris Ertugrul tells a passionate account of The Kaıs, a brave and humble Turkish nomadic tribe. The Kaıs are a warrior tribe that on one hand has embraced to become targets with rough weather and the Mongols and Crusaders on the other hand.

It is a chronicle of courage, inspired from historic foundation of the Ottoman Empire, at the end of the 13th century in Northwestern Anatolia in the town of Soğüt (modern-day Bilecik Province) by the Oghuz Turkish tribal leader Osman. The plot of the play is in stark contrast with any modern-day western spiel that either instills fear of the obscure or forge acceptance of paranormal figurines conjured through accidental lab mutations and later lauded as heroes. This tale revolves around a nomadic tribe of shepherds, who request permit from Ameer of Aleppo to stay on their fertile pastures in order to escape the famine of the harsh winters. The request laid the foundation of this whole train of Diliris that lasted eight hundred years. Ertugrul is the wise and valiant warrior who is son of Suleman Shah, the Chief of the Kaı tribe.


The series has been charged as Turkey's soft deployment of a "bomb" in youthful minds that has left the otherwise sensational tabloids mesmerized and yet crestfallen. The New York Times is of view that the character of "Ertugrul" reveals Turkey's core intentions and desires to reclaim the lost glory as the once great empire.


What is interesting to note is New York Times indictment on grounds that Diliris Ertugral gaining popularity and breaking records worldwide proves that the people of Turkey share President Erdogan's vision, a 'crime' as stated by NY Times, that the two are envisioning a glorious Muslim empire together in near future.

The character of the compassionate and wise Ertugral Shah is played by 40 year-old Turkish actor Engin Altan Düzyatan, who hails from Izmer, Turkey.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has given a befitting response to media propagandists against the gripping drama series Diliris Ertugrul:
"Until lions delay writing their own history, the hunters will remain heroes," as if quoting cut-to-the-chase Ertugral, "Until the veins of betrayal are dry, until the veins of betrayal are dry."


Created by Turkish screenwriter and producer  Mehmet Bozdag and directed by Metin Günay, the first season was released in December 2014 with 150 published chapters that were extended to 179 chapters for Netflix.

All five seasons done and dusted! A straight 10/10. This series is not to be missed.
