Ankara resident Turgut, who is fighting against cancer, has lost 13 kilograms! People who see his current appearance cannot recognize him.

Ankaralı Turgut, known as Turgut Karataş, learned that he had cancer when he went to the hospital with stomach pain. The artist, who quickly turned upside down, said that he could not start smart drug treatment due to lack of money. His fans, who saw the artist, who had become very weak and cut off his mustache that he had been using for years, had difficulty recognizing him.

"I CAN'T AFFORD THE 67 THOUSAND LIRA SMART DRUG"

Ankaralı Turgut, 61, who has been undergoing cancer treatment for weeks, said in an interview with ATV News, "They said there is sagging in the liver. I stayed in bed for about 1.5 months. I lost about 12-13 kilos. It's something that happened in 3 months for me." The folk singer, whose cancer spread to his liver and needs to use smart drugs, expressed his frustration due to his financial situation, saying, "Now we are in a tight spot to get that drug because it costs 65-67 thousand lira per piece. I am not a very high-earning artist in this country. God is the one who falls and rises. Even a person worth trillions can suddenly drop to zero."

"THEY USE MY SONGS IN FOREIGN MOVIES WITHOUT PAYING ROYALTIES"

Turgut Karataş, who stated that his folk songs are used without permission in foreign movies but he is not paid any royalties, said, "My songs are being clicked there but I don't get anything. What will happen when there is no income? You are forced to experience financial difficulties." While the European company stated that the copyright fees were paid to MESAM, MESAM stated that no payment was made to them. The famous folk singer filed a lawsuit against the company that used his songs without permission.

HE CRITICIZED INGRATITUDE

Ankaralı Turgut, who also criticized the art community, concluded his words as follows: "No one from the art community called and said get well soon. They don't trust either his existence or his health. That's why my disappointment is only towards the people in the art community. I hope my fans will not forget to pray for me. Health is everything."
