Tarkan who was arrested and charged with taking illicit drugs by the Turkish Police in Istanbul - he has been released from jail ....and the media are making light of it describing the image portrayed by the Turkish Pop Star as Tarkan's Warrior Hat with an image of Tarkan and his hat. Apparently the Turkish star has sold albums world wide and has ridden many a scandal in the last decade or so - one of which was the implication that Tarkan was Gay! There is a lot of discussion on the singer's name which is Tarkan as a professional one, (similar to Elvis!) but his name is : Tarkan Teveloglu and he was born in Germany in October in 1972 and was raised in Turkey.
Police conduct drugs raids continuously according to the Turkish Digest as Istanbul is a transit point between Asia and Europe and obviously there is some trafficking in illegal drugs going on in Istanbul, thus the focus and world media attention on Tarkan's arrest, Tarkan - charged with taking illicit drugs, and Tarkan held in jail for several days but has now been released from prison. Thanks Turkish Digest for the update ...
