In the Turkish drama “kurulus Osman”, Albay Alp is depicted as a traitor, but this is part of the creative liberty that the playwrights used to make the story more interesting and dramatic.
Historically, authentic information about Albay Alp is limited, and not much detail is available on his life and character. This is why the creators of the drama have adapted his character according to the needs of their story.
It is important to remember that dramas like kurulus Osman or Qayamat-e Ertugrul are not entirely based on historical facts, but many things are presented in a fictional or creative way. It is considered more credible that Albay Alp was actually one of Osman Ghazi’s close associates, and his traitor ship is just an aspect created for dramatic elements.
This difference between historical facts and dramatic stories is often seen, and viewers should keep in mind that dramas are made for historical entertainment, not as a complete reflection of history.
