Bravo Bülent Ersoy! Turkey's Anti War Transsexual Singer.

BIA 27.02.2008 Singer Bülent Ersoy's courageous anti-war words on live TV have provoked a nationalist backlash and an investigation.

It took a judge from a national popstar competition, "Popstar Alaturka", to say what many people may think secretly. Bülent Ersoy, a colourful transsexual singer, banned from performing on stage after the military coup in the 1980s, and now mostly in the magazine headlines for her outfits, young husbands and cosmetic surgery, expressed her opposition to the current cross-border operations in Northern Iraq on live TV on Sunday night (24 February).
