Turkish Coffee | Episode 8: How uncles can create havoc in Turkey
Families, love, hate, adultery, and power dynamics... The Turkish Coffee hosts take a deep dive into the concept of "uncles" in Turkey, a family member who can take up to four different titles in Turkish. Speaking in the context of the saga of the Palu family where an "uncle" dominated a whole bloodline through spiritual manipulation, Aygen and Nazlan take a closer look at "the alien at home."

As new developments emerge on the two-year-old saga of the Palu family intrigue and murder, the Turkish Coffee hosts take a closer look at the role of "enişte" (brother in law or uncle by marriage) in Turkish socio-culture.
Aygen and Nazlan look at political "brothers-in-law," including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's brother-in-law who allegedly alerted him to the failed coup in 2016, as well as prejudices, proverbs and cheeky references to foreign eniştes.
