Valery Meldze may be banned from performing in Turkey due to company events with Galkin* and concerts in Israel.
According to SHOT, Turkish activists who oppose the Israeli authorities over the conflict in the Gaza Strip turned their attention to the singer. We were especially interested in the fact that on October 28 Maldez appeared in Caesarea. There he did not make political statements, but at the same time, social activists drew attention to the fact that the artist appeared several times at events with the comedian-foreign agent Maxim Galkin*, who supported the actions of the IDF. Turkish activists are now considering the possibility of contacting the state authorities with a request to ban Meldze's concerts. The next performance of the singer in Turkey is expected only in 2027.
Previously we reported that the concert of Maxim Galkin* was canceled in Istanbul. This happened after a complaint by Turkish activists, who drew attention to the comedian's support for the Israeli army. Valery Meldze's last concert was also not without scandal: the singer stopped the performance because of two spectators who came on stage. Security had to kick them out of the hall.
