Turkish film production company Pana Film is planning to shoot a
film on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Khojalu events, according
to Turkish news site Hurhaber.

Mehmet Janpolad, one of the directors of the film, and the cast and
crew of another Pana Film project called Valley of Wolves ("Kurtlar
Vadisi"), a popular Turkish TV series, are currently in Baku in
the middle of preparations. Janpolad said that some footage on the
Nagorno-Karabakh war and events in Khojalu might be included in
the show.

An episode of this series that depicted Israeli Mossad agents spying
inside Turkey and kidnapping Turkish babies was roundly criticized
by the Israeli government and media, CNN had reported earlier.

The Turkish government’s refusal to act on Israeli requests to
more strictly censor the show had contributed to a deepening of
a row between the two countries, culminating in Turkey’s threat to
recall ambassador to Israel Ahmet Oguz Celikkol after a controversial
diplomatic meeting with Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon
in January 2010, according to an earlier report by BBC News.
