K. Tatlıtuğ's father
Please stop the edit war.. his father is ethnically Turkish you can google for it his name is Erdem Tatlıtuğ, but with Turkish-Yugoslav ancestry. 95.114.3.96 (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

His father's name is Erdem and mother's name is Nurten. Both are fully Turkish names. Having a grandparent from Yugoslavia doesn't rule you out from being Turkish as there were and still are Turks there. In fact, about 30% of the population of Turkey are Balkan Turks - descendants of the huge Turkish communities that lived in the Balkans until murder and ethnic cleansing operations against them there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.85.101 (talk) 07:43, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

He is a Turk
What is this nonsense here about Kıvanç being "Bosnian"? This is just speculation by some gossip media in former Yugoslavian countries and not based on any fact. They are just trying to claim someone famous and good looking as their own like all other people do.

Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ is a 200% Turkish name, he is born and raised in Adana (like his parents), speaks Turkish as his mother tongue and most importantly Kıvanç has never stated he's bosnian or anything of the sort. He just once played a Bosnian character (for which the small amount bosnian language was dubbed over). He is about as Bosnian as he is Somalian or Japanese.

I'm saying this because someone linked this page to me as "proof" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erenpil (talk • contribs) 05:14, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Nobody is claiming that he is Bosnian, source only claims that he is of Bosnian ancestry. Please learn the difference. And I highly doubt that Dnevni Avaz, Večernji list and Nova TV are gossip media.--Eversman (talk) 23:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

He is not bosnian in anyway. There is no proof for these "bosnian" allegations except a few newspapers and gossip blogs in ex Yugoslavia trying to claim a famous and handsome person for themselves. The rumour started because he once ACTED as a bosnian (thats right,a FICTIONAL character). And even that character was Turkish in every other way. Everything about him is Turkish. His parents are Turkish, and there is no record of them or any of his ancestors coming from Bosnia. This is where wikipedia fails. Anyone can write anything and all kinds of nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.40.231.226 (talk) 10:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

so if two bosnian papers published an article claiming that Nelson Mandela is Bosnian, it would be written in his biography ? No, they would laugh about those papers and their silly claims. Until, Kivanc himself or any of his family members has stated this, this is  only a RUMOR (based on Kivanc playing a bosnian FICTIONAL CHARACTER)  and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.40.231.226 (talk) 17:43, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

PS> Looks like this fake information is being promoted by zionists. I am not surprised because zionists hate Turks and trying to slander Turkey in every opportunity. They murdered our people in Mavi Marmara and we Turks will NEVER forget this terrorist attack on us. They have extended this to wikipedia now and trying to present famous Turks as not Turkish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.40.231.226 (talk) 17:50, 17 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Please provide sources to support your arguments. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:03, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

The Bosnian and Croatian sources you insist on adding as reliable references do absolutely NOT back up the claim that Tatlıtug is of Bosnian decent. Those sources only state that on a television interview in Turkey, he made a reference to his Bosnian roots. However, there is not a single Turkish source where he made this so-called statement. i.e. the name of the television channel or the program where/when he appeared. Unless you provide me with one, I and my team will continue to edit out that disputed part in the article. You cannot add gossiping material and present it as a reliable source! Furthermore, as you can see from the new references, this fabricated rumour has been debunked, since Tatlıtug himself has denied these claims.(refer to the references). Stop filling this article with that fabricated nonsense or I will report you! Demir1923 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Demir1923 (talk • contribs) 13:43, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Kivanc about his Family Background
For all Turks, who claimed that Kivanc is a Turk, please look this Reportaj about him, and listen his own Words about his Family Background...He said: That his Paternal and Maternal Grandparents was Refugees from Bosna. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHW0JoEgvqE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.98.13 (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

He says in the interview that his grandmother was a refugee from (what was then) Yugoslavia. There many Turks over there, for instance Ertan Saban and Filiz Ahmet are from Skopje. Saying that he is "bosniak" is a combination of ignorance of the historically large Turkish communities in the region and outright surmise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.86.145 (talk) 14:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Youtube is not a reliable source per WP:NOYT as information is easily edited manipulated, or misrepresented as it has been done here. Sorry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.115.254 (talk) 02:30, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Its really amazing how adamant these zionists are in trying to portray Tatlitug as not Turkish. Actually, its one person with many accounts who signs out to protect his real (ie zionist) identity. Anti Turkish hatred and jealousy from this troublesome clan is mindblowing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.93.86 (talk) 06:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Bosnian
It is super ridiculous to claim him as Bosnian. When the Balkan states declared their independence many Turks were expelled to Anatolia. Here is a german source of wikipedia itsels: the article talks about "Turkish minorities in Southeast Europe" That many Turks were expelled to Anatolia, however there is still a little minority in Southeast Europe. So does that mean that Ataturk is Greek, because he is born in Greece? Well many Turks have Balkan origins. But the anatolian Turks are themselves a Southeast european population. I have blond hairs, too. I have also speculated that I have may Galatian origins. What I am trying to say is, that many Turks are European, Caucasian and Eurasian People.

at the Tv he says that he have turkish ancestry, but that his father was born by a bosnian mother. plus that his family had been in bakery business in this city for more than hundred years. 95.114.18.33 (talk) 19:35, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * plus at TV he speculated that his mother is from european part of Turkey Edirne and that's maybe the reason why he looks "western". 77.3.103.66 (talk) 04:06, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * some people here feel free to do theorization, but youtube is not a reliable source. and in the video he says that his grandmother came to Turkey as a refugee from Yugoslavia. But Tatlıtuğ's father is born in Turkey and have also turkish relatives and the fathers name is Erdem Tatlıtuğ. 77.3.118.16 (talk) 03:26, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

1) A Private Youtube-uplaoded video is not a valid source, see WP:NOYT 2) Nowhere in that video does he say that is "bosniak". He says his father's mother came from Yugoslavia, which is not unusual given that those areas historically had a large Turkish population and there is still Turks there inspite of all the attempts to destroy them. One third of Turkey's population are Balkan Turks. But somehow the people promoting this claim have falsely extroplated this to mean that he is "bosniak". There's no real proof of them being a 'bosniak'.

If anything, this issue has nothing to do with Tatlitug or his background. The person who is repeatedly adding this claim is a zionist from croatia who hates Turks and does not want Tatlıtuğ to be Turkish. He has an estabished accounts(s) and signs out and edits this article with an ip to hide his real identity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.96.234 (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Kıvanç himself says he is half bosnian. He says his father's mother is from Sarajevo and his grandfather is Yogoslav. His mother is from Edirne, Turkey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHW0JoEgvqE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.140.238.154 (talk) 11:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Family Background
It doesn't quite make sense to me why there is so much debate between people regarding the ethnic background of Kivanç Tatlituğ, if he himself states that he is Turkish then that is what he is. But nonetheless I understand why some are so eager to prove that he is either Bosnian or for somewhere else in the Balkans.

From what I have come to understand ( I am by no means stating that I am correct)Kivanç was born in Adana (in southern Turkey) it may be for this very reason that he considers himself Turkish and tends to overlook for example where his parents of grandparents are originally from. It is very common that people define their ethnic background according to here they were born.

On top of the controversy about the Bosnian side of Kivanç Tatlituğ I must admit that there is the same level of uncertainty in Albania. I understand that some who may read this will find this another joke but having encountered a video interview of Kinvaç on the CNN channel in Turkey on the Isiltilar programme with Tahire Demircan Kivanç does mention that his father or grandfather is originally from Prishtina and also states that they are of Albanian origin.Once again I must note that I am by no means stating this is 100% as I do not understand Turkish very well and only have minimal understanding of the Language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx5fHAfNyXs

Further, in yet another intervie for Turkisk channel Kanal D Kivanç states that he also has Albanian 'roots'. Although in very few cases he appears to consider himself as either Bosnian or Albanian he does note and consider his other ethnic roots.

In this video he was asked by the Turkish journalist is he has Albanian origin and his answer is. Yes, my father is from Prishtina and my mother is Turkish.
