Resurgence of interest in the Ottoman Dynasty

Since the turn of this century there has been a growing interest in the living members of the Ottoman family, both within Turkey and abroad.

In 2006, family members met at Dolmabahçe Palace for the presentation of the documentary "Osmanoğlu'nun Exile" produced by TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation)[7]. This documentary followed the stories of the members of the Ottoman family who went into exile in 1924, following the establishment of the Turkish Republic and the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate. It then follows the stories of their descendants, who now live in Turkey, Europe, the United States and throughout the Middle East. Extensive coverage of this event, and the success of the documentary series has dramatically raised the profile of the Imperial Family.[8]

The outpouring of affection shown by the Turkish people at the funeral of H.I.H Prince Ertuğrul Osman Efendi in September 2009 revealed how deep feeling still runs for the Imperial family.[9]

In July 2010 H.I.H. Princess Ayşe Gülnev Sultan held a party to celebrate the 70th birthday of her father H.I.H. Prince (Şehzade) Osman Selaheddin Osmanoğlu . This event was attended by a number of members of the Ottoman family, including Sultanzade H.R.H Prince Ali bin Naif of Jordan and Sultanzade H.R.H Prince Abbas Hilmi. A string quartet played Ottoman Court music composed by members of the Imperial family and conducted by Emre Aracı. [10][11]
