Gülşen

Coming together again three years after their first duet, Turkish pop music stars Edis and Gülşen have collaborated for a new album 'Serdar Ortaç Songs Vol 2.' The musicians performed the song 'Sor' on the album together.

The song was arranged by Zeki Arkun and Elber Tutkus, and Utku Ünsal is credited for the mix-mastering.

A court in Istanbul on Wednesday handed Turkish pop singer Gulsen a 10-month suspended sentence after convicting her of "inciting hatred and enmity" over a joke about Turkey's religious schools, Turkey's state-run news agency reported.

Citizens in many parts of the country, especially in Istanbul, the capital Ankara and western province of İzmir, have welcomed the new year with various events, while a group of people in the southern province of Antalya celebrated the arrival of the new year by entering the sea at a temperature of 10 degrees.

"Imposing house arrest … does not comply with the law from our point of view," lawyer Emek Emre said in front of a courthouse in Istanbul. Emre added that they will ask the court to revaluate its decision, "and if possible, to abolish it".

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office said that Gulsen "incited people to hatred and animosity" with her comment.

During a concert in April, Gulsen called a religious high school graduate a pervert. She insisted in her testimony to the prosecutor that it was a "joke between colleagues".

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation against the famous pop singer Gülşen following her words she uttered against the students of state religious "imam hatip" high schools.
