TRT Seljuk-era TV Series Reveals Turkish History

The devoted audience of Turkish historical drama series would have known 'Diriliş: Ertuğrul' ('The Resurrection: Ertuğrul'), 'Kuruluş: Osman' ('The Ottoman'), 'Fetih 1453' ('The Conquest 1453'), or 'Payitaht: Abdülhamid' ('The Capital: Abdülhamid'), all of which revolve around Ottoman history.

Recently, a new historical drama series has premiered on state-run broadcaster Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT). It is a series by Akli Film Production entitled 'Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu' ('The Great Seljuks: Guardians of Justice'), which tells the story of the rise of the Seljuk Empire in the Abbasid era.
