Character Relationships in Burning Days

Emre (played by Selahattin Paşalı) is a protagonist in Burning Days. Emre is a young lawyer appointed as the state prosecutor in Yaniklar. He investigates Pekmez's assault, orders a sperm test, confronts Şahin, and challenges the mayor's water project. As evidence and manipulated images surface, his memories become uncertain and he is increasingly isolated by the town's corruption and hostility. Murat (played by Ekin Koç) is a protagonist in Burning Days. Murat is the editor of the local newspaper and the adopted son of the previous mayor. He befriends Emre, warns him about the town, gives him geological evidence linking the sinkholes to excessive drilling, and claims to have cared for Emre after the dinner. His closeness to Emre also fuels rumors about their relationship. Şahin (played by Erol Babaoğlu) appears in Burning Days. Şahin is the town lawyer and the mayor's son. He welcomes Emre, encourages him to drink at the dinner gathering, and becomes involved in the humiliating entertainment arranged there. After Pekmez's assault, Emre orders his arrest, but Şahin is later defended by Zeynep and accuses Emre of participating in the rape. Kemal (played by Erdem Şenocak) appears in Burning Days. Kemal is a person whom Emre orders arrested as the investigation and political conflict intensify. The available plot account gives no further confirmed details about Kemal's occupation, conduct, or relationship to the other characters, but the arrest indicates that he becomes a target of Emre's prosecutorial actions. Emre's Mother (played by Hatice Aslan) appears in Burning Days.
