Fan Pages
It's not possible to list all Engin fan pages. Practically every country, where Engin's projects were emited has a fan page, or even a few fan pages, as well as groups. There are also many fan pages for international fans. Here I will list just a few fan pages, that I often consult/read myself - with a short description of what you can find there.
The list will include open pages or groups, accessible to all. Some of them are no longer active, or are less active, but are still a treasure for those looking for old info.
EAUFC - Engin Akyurek Universal Fans Club
- One of the first and biggest fan pages, Turkish in origin, but later with everything translated into English. Not active right now, but you can find there many "Treasures" from the times of "Fatmagul'un Sucu Ne" and "Kara Para Ask", plus many translations of interviews and Engin stories.
Engin Akyurek - the Actor
- a page with many translations of Engin's stories, as well as interesting analyses of Engin's projects and career by Prof. Navid Shahzad.
ENGINcilerr (Engin Akyurek) - the page started by an Iranian fan Mahta Hossein with lots of current news and a rich photo gallery. Mahta is an organiser of big charity events on Engin's birthday - and meetings with him on that occasion.
Engin Akyurek Fans Pakistan - the page does not seem to be active right now, but like EAUFC, it has some interesting info from older times.
Engin Akyurek Greece blogspot - A Greek blog with Engin's interviews, news etc in Greek, English and French translation.
Engin Akyurek France - a French fan webpage, where you can find Engin's stories, interviews, analyses, mostly in French, but some are in English too.
*****
Two exceptions to the list of the open pages above:
Engin Akyurek - an extraordinary actor and ordinary man - a private group started by a Bulgarian fan Barisea Bazyli, who writes very interesting analyses of Engin's projects and stories - also publishes translations of Engin's stories. You need to be a member of the group to access all info.
Engin Akyurek Uniting Hearts Worldwide - it used to be a very active closed group, publishing a lots of interesting info about Engin, Turkey and its culture. They also organised charity donations, taught Turkish and translated Engin's stories. Unfortunately, the group was closed, but I think it's worth mentioning for its unique and interesting idea for Engin's birthday present. Just like Engin wanted to share with us his stories, the admins of the group thought of sharing fan stories with Engin. They asked fans to write stories, which later were translated into Turkish and made into a book. More about the book - see here.
**************************************************
BEWARE OF FAKE ACCOUNTS: recently there appeared a lot of pages, accounts etc, whose admins claim to be Engin himself. Remember that Engin has only one official account on Instagram. So no accounts on Meta (Facebook) or Twitter are his. Be especially cautious about people who offer a meeting with Engin and ask you for money.

YOUTUBE
There are a lot of films and channels devoted to Engin on YouTube. Some just prepare films with his pictures and/or fragments of his projects. However, there are many channels whose only aim seems to be to have a big number of fans and they are trying to attract them using attention grabbing description or titles, e.g. Engin Akyurek - house, wife, children, Shocking news about Engin etc. More often than not these facts are completely false and misleading.
