Cengiz, who essays the role of Turgut Alp in historical drama serial Dirilis: Ertugrul, expressed his deep grief over the loss of lives in the wildfires.
He took to Instagram and shared a photo of the burning forest with a heartbreaking caption.
Cengiz Coşkun wrote both in Turkish and English languages saying “My heart is burning when I see these images.”
