Burak Özçivit Draws Crowds at Turkish Series Concert in Russia

Burak Özçivit, the lead actor of the ATV drama Güneşin Doğduğu Yer, met large crowds at the “Turkish TV Series Soundtracks” concert in Maykop, Russia. According to Sabah, the event took place on 20 October 2026. The report says thousands of fans came to see him.

The visit shows how far Turkish television reaches beyond Türkiye’s borders. Soundtrack concerts let audiences enjoy a series’ music even when they cannot follow every episode in the original language.

Fans queue for autographs in Maykop

Sabah reports that fans formed long queues to speak with the actor. Many asked him to sign photographs, napkins and pieces of clothing.

Özçivit thanked the audience for their interest. In Turkish he said, “Türk dizilerine ve bizlere gösterdiğiniz ilgiden dolayı çok teşekkür ederim,” which means “Thank you very much for the interest you show in Turkish series and in us.”

Sabah does not say who performed at the concert, how many people attended in total, or how long Özçivit stayed. We have therefore left those details out until they are confirmed.

Why a soundtrack concert in Russia matters

Maykop is the capital of the Republic of Adygea in southern Russia. A concert there, built around music from Turkish series, suggests that demand for the genre goes beyond large capital cities.

Özçivit currently leads Güneşin Doğduğu Yer on ATV, so the trip also puts a new series in front of international viewers. Readers who want to follow the drama can find Güneşin Doğduğu Yer episodes on our site.

Turkish producers and broadcasters have long promoted their series abroad through festivals, fan meetings and music events. This concert is one more example of that approach, although Sabah does not link it to any official export deal.
