The famous singer Ankaralı Turgut's passing has saddened his fans, while the artist, who has been in the spotlight in recent years due to controversies with his children, left behind a will before his death.
'Ankaralı Turgut', known by the nickname of singer Turgut Karataş, lost his life this morning after a long battle with lung cancer. His condition worsened about 40 days ago, and he was intubated at Ankara Etlik City Hospital, leaving his fans in mourning with the news of his passing.
HE HAD REJECTED HIS CHILDREN
Due to the economic difficulties he faced in recent years, Turgut, who was collecting donations for his treatment, stated that his children wanted to seize this money, thus rejecting them. Ankaralı Turgut only maintained contact with his daughter Eylem Boran, saying that he wanted the money collected for the treatment of his other children Haydar, Özlem, Hasret, and Ersoy: "They have been living off my money for 27 years; have they ever earned money themselves? We are feeding the son-in-law with father’s money! Haydar, Özlem, Hasret, they are all the same... Ersoy is the worst of the ungrateful! They have become a gang. Have they ever earned halal money, eaten halal money? They want to take the donation money collected for me by threatening me. They are liars, slanderers, let everyone know!" he had said.
"I ONLY HAVE THIS INSTRUMENT"
It was learned that Turgut had no financial savings left due to the expenses incurred during his treatment. In an interview he gave in previous years, he stated, "I have no property or wealth left in this world. I only have this instrument. I would be happy if you put it in a museum in Ankara. This is my will to you," he had expressed.
