    This series is far from historical accuracy, attempting to rewrite the past and tarnish the reputations of historical figures. One glaring mistake is the use of Turkish flags

    This series shows a blatant disregard for historical accuracy, aiming to distort the past and tarnish the reputation of historical figures. A striking example of this is the incorrect use of Turkish flags from the Republic era, placed in an entirely irrelevant context. Such a mistake underscores the shallowness of the production. By misrepresenting history and deceiving the audience, the series not only disrespects our cultural heritage but also insults the intelligence of its viewers. For these reasons, I believe this series is fundamentally flawed and misleading. Given that our soldiers were clearly working to protect the local population, scenes depicting them attacking civilians with cannons are utterly unacceptable. I consider this to be the worst series I have ever watched.

    This is a comedy, good propaganda

    "The new series portrays Fahreddin Pasha not as someone who defended Medina, but as someone who besieged it and harmed its people. This is quite misleading. Historically, Fahreddin Pasha was a leader who courageously defended Medina during World War I. The series distorts history in this way, which makes it harder to access accurate information and can lead viewers to form incorrect impressions. It is important for historical content to be based on real and accurate information. I believe that productions like this should consider historical accuracy.

    While Fahreddin Pasha's respect for and struggle in Medina are the subject of books, you cannot tarnish him with a TV series sorry.

    It has nothing to do with historical reality.

    A series that is completely far from historical reality. Fahrettin Pasha and his soldiers are an army that eats locusts to protect the city from starvation and when there are no supplies left for the British invasion. Nowhere in history does it say that he opened fire on civilians. Anyone who wants to can go and research it. The Turkish army showed extraordinary success, resisting for years with zero supplies and protecting the holy lands of the Muslims. Unfortunately, thanks to the British Arabs, the holy lands of the Muslims have fallen into the hands of the British and Jewish puppet Arabs..

    Historical Distortions in Safar Berlik: Misrepresentation of Fahrettin Pasha and the Ottoman Resistance

    Historical documents and sources confirm that Fahrettin Pasha and the Ottoman soldiers under his command put up a great resistance to defend the holy lands against the British and their supporters. While the series "Safar Berlik" addresses the events in the Hejaz region during the late period of the Ottoman Empire, the distortion of these historical events to emphasize Arab nationalism and portray all Arab Muslims as being against the Ottomans is far from historical accuracy. On the contrary, many Arab Muslims, especially the people of Medina and its surroundings, resisted the British alongside the Ottoman army. The presentation of such a narrative in the series creates a misleading perception of history among viewers and oversimplifies the complex historical dynamics of the region. It is common for dramatic productions to approach historical events from a single perspective, but it is important for viewers to research historical facts and seek information from various sources to recognize such distortions.

    What a lie story

    Hahaha, so the British agent Lawrence saved the Arab people? Such claims are really very interesting and worth questioning. However, in order to understand this story, it is necessary to think more deeply. I have a question: Why would the Ottomans want to attack a people they had been living together with for 500 years? The Ottoman Empire had lived in peace with the people of the Arab geography for centuries and had taken care to protect the social, cultural and religious structures in these regions. So, what reason could the Ottomans have for attacking these people? Moreover, the strategic interests of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of stability in the region clearly show that such an attack was illogical.

    Now, let's come to another important point: Lawrence's role. Lawrence incited the Arab tribes to rebel by inciting them against the Ottomans and promising them that they would establish a state. This was England's use of the Arabs' nationalist feelings to protect and expand its interests in the region. The British used agents like Lawrence to accelerate the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and bring the region under their control. However, during this period, the majority of the Arab people remained loyal to the Ottomans and resisted these provocations of the British. Lawrence's actions can only be considered as an opportunism in a weak moment of the Ottomans and cannot be said to be a real savior for the vast majority of the Arab people. After all, the Ottomans and the Arabs lived together under the same empire for centuries and shared a common history and cultural heritage. Therefore, the claim that the Ottomans attacked their own people does not correspond to historical facts.
