Tajik television "overrides" the kissing game advertising (AUDIO) - Voice of Russia

To the delight of moviegoers Tajikistan bans popular Turkish TV series “Magnificent Century” was false. But for some other films and TV series censorship in the country is still severe.

usually taboo imposed on the picture, where there are scenes of violence and sex. A year ago, under the censorship were once five militants Turkish directors. In the state enterprise “Tadzhikkino” felt that the demonstration movies with bloody scenes affects the education of youth. In particular, they drew attention to the increase in juvenile crime and suggested that this movie plays a role.

Seller DVD-ROM drive with movies in Dushanbe Nazir Habibov says that he was forced to submit to this decision:

“ I had to remove the film from the counter, as soon as he learned of the decision. Buyers come and ask, but if there is a ban, I can not sell these CDs. “

Nazir says that under the ban today, more than ten pictures. The list includes such Turkish films as “The Defenders,” “similar to Yusuf,” “Valley of the Wolves,” “Light of Dreams” and “The road of destiny.” Also prohibits the sale of tapes “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” and “dictator.” But Nazir believes that the ban does not help the cause.

“ the contrary, as soon as something forbidden, increased attention and interest. I think the question of what to see and what to reject – it’s a family affair and the regulator must act immediately parents, not the state “.

expert with the Center for Strategic Studies Tajikistan Farrukh Umarov in the current of the solution is a political subtext. He drew attention to the fact that the ban does not apply to most American fighters, although there also are elements of violence. Meanwhile, according to the analyst, in Dushanbe today, many are reminded that in Egypt and other Eastern countries affected by the unrest, the youth also increased by Western values.

“If you take a Turkish movie, here plays a vital role political factor. Specifically, the desire to prevent the spread of non-traditional ideology and ideological control in the sphere of public life and to prevent acts of violence among young people. Evidence suggests that aggressive youth may cause destabilization of society. As the events in some Arab countries of the East, the main key role in the overthrow of the ruling regime has played youth “.

Elements of censorship in Tajikistan are present in the air of local TV channels. There is also little fighters. And if you go melodrama, during the explicit scenes in feature films include commercial. Similarly, sometimes overlapping, even harmless kisses. Observers attributed this to the fact that in Tajikistan, where 99 percent of the population Muslim, secular power simply can not ignore these trends.
