RTÜK, short for ((トルコ語:Radyo ve Televizyon Üst Kurulu), (英語:Radio and Television Supreme Council)),〔(RTÜK website )〕 is the Turkish state agency for monitoring, regulating, and sanctioning radio and television broadcasts. RTÜK was founded in 1994 and is composed of nine members elected by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.〔(ABOUT THE RADIO AND TELEVISION SUPREME COUNCIL (RTÜK) )〕 RTÜK is located in Ankara and maintains local offices in Istanbul, Izmir and Diyarbakir. Telecommunications and information technology sectors fall under another state agency, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK). RTÜK has recently initiated the establishment of two international forums in the field of audio visual media services such as the Black Sea Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum (BRAF) among 12 members of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) in 2009,〔(BLACK SEA BROADCASTING REGULATORY AUTHORITIES FORUM )〕 and the Islamic Countries Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum (IBRAF), an affiliate of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), with its 57 member states, in 2011.〔(Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum )〕 ==Notable sanctions and penalties imposed by RTÜK== * RTÜK is known for sanctioning the broadcasts of a large number of domestic productions, such as Gülşen's video clip for the song ''Sarışınım'',〔(Gülşen'in Yüzü Gülüyor...RTÜK Yasakladı, MTV Klibini Listeye Aldı )〕 on grounds of "violating the national and moral values of the community and Turkish family structure" (RTÜK Law Art. 4/e), "obscenity" (ibid. 4/t), and "impairing the physical, mental, and moral development of young people and children" (ibid. 4/z). * Among foreign productions sanctioned by RTÜK for similar rationales are ''Wild Things 3'',〔(RTÜK'ten Kızların Öpüşmesine Ceza )〕 Nip/Tuck, and Gossip Girl.〔(RTÜK Senaryo da Yazıyormuş! )〕 In September 2009, RTÜK banned the broadcasting of the video clip for the song ''Love Sex Magic'', stating that the video "contains sexual outfits, dancing and scenes that are contrary to the development of children and youth and morality in general."〔(Turkey bans "sexy" American pop video )〕 * In another verdict in March 2011, RTÜK punished the broadcast of the feature film Sex and the City 2, due to the film's portraying a same-sex wedding ceremony, considered "twisted and immoral" by the RTÜK board.〔(Sex and the RTÜK )〕 * RTÜK also imposes closure orders on TV and radio stations on the grounds that they have made separatist broadcasts. A verdict of high international profile was the banning of Turkish language programmes of BBC World Service and Deutsche Welle on the grounds that they "threatened national security."〔(RTÜK de BBC'yi ulusal güvenliğe aykırı buldu )〕 * Critics claim that verdicts of RTÜK resulted in excessive self-censorship of broadcasters.〔(Yaşam ve Ekran ), Yaşar Sökmensüer, Hürriyet〕 * The "stream-lining" policies of RTÜK with that of the Turkish Government is exemplified once more when they successively imposed huge monetary penalties to the producers of the TV series Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi as well as the TV channel broadcasting it. The series explicitly demonstrate the corrupt policies and practices of the Turkish courts, governmental authorities, the bureaucrats, etc. and therefore is widely criticized by the ruling A.K.P. (Justice and Development Party)-led Turkish government. The ministers of the government as well as many A.K.P. MPs had explicitly criticized the TV series and asked the producers to stop production and the TV channel to stop broadcasting; however they had to back down amid extremely widespread protests of the spectators and fans of the series. As a result, the government is now (as of 2012) trying to press the producers and the TV channed by imposing huge monetary penalties on feeble claims such as "the violation the national and moral values of the community and Turkish family structure" (RTÜK Law Art. 4/e), "obscenity" (ibid. 4/t), and "the impairment of the physical, mental, and moral development of young people and children" (ibid. 4/z).〔(VATAN GAZETESİ - Behzat Ç.'nin İçtiği İçki RTÜK'ü Karıştırdı ! - January 24, 2011 )〕〔(POSTA GAZETESİ - RTÜK'ten Behzat Ç.'ye Türkçe Cezası - May 28, 2011 )〕〔(HABER 5 - RTÜK Behzat Ç.'yi Sıkı Takip Ediyor ! - May 29, 2011 )〕〔(MEDYA FARESİ - RTÜK'ten Behzat Ç.'ye Bir Ceza Daha!

The first season of the series were heavily penalized by the RTÜK and the second season brought even more penalties of the RTÜK to the producers of the series and the broadcasting TV channel. As a result, when the second-season of the series finished in June 2012, all spectators and fans were pessimist on whether they will be watching a third-season. The third season started to air on Sep. 21, 2012 but with a heavy censor on all conversations, extreme censor on scenes where the characters drink beer, etc. and consequently, the website of the TV channel broadcasting the series over the internet received more than 130,000 hits in the other day of the broadcast in just a couple of hours when word spread among fans that a "censor-free" version is available.〔〔(Ekşi Sözlük: Entry For Behzat Ç. - Entry No.20253/Page No.2026 and onwards )〕〔("Censor-Free" Version Of Behzat Ç. - 3rd Season 1st Part )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radio and Television Supreme Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
