Dedeman Tokat Hosts a Historical Story on Screen
The poignant story of young Turkish soldiers from Tokat who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign is set to reach audiences through the new series “Onbeşliler”.
Dedeman Tokat as a Production Hub
During the 3.5-month filming period, Dedeman Tokat provided comprehensive accommodation and services for the cast, producers, and technical crew, positioning the hotel not only as a place to stay but also as an operational center for the production. Flexible and sustainable service operations ensured the series’ complex filming needs were seamlessly met.
Gala Night Celebrates the Project
Following the completion of filming on January 1, 2026, Dedeman Tokat hosted a gala and cocktail event attended by approximately 550 guests, including Tokat Governor Abdullah Köklü, local parliamentarians, TRT General Director Mehmet Zahid Sobacı, and members of the production team. The gala featured a carefully curated cocktail experience reflecting the hotel’s hospitality standards and included screenings of the first two episodes in the hotel’s ballroom, providing a memorable meeting point for the production team and guests.
Bringing History to Digital Audiences
“Onbeşliler” is scheduled to premiere on TRT’s digital platform Tabii on March 18, 2026, coinciding with Gallipoli Victory and Martyrs Remembrance Day. Beyond entertainment, the project contributes to preserving historical memory and simultaneously generates cultural and economic value for the city of Tokat.
Dedeman Tokat General Manager Fatih Güzel commented on the collaboration:
“Being part of a story like ‘Onbeşliler,’ which holds a special place in our collective memory, is deeply meaningful for us. Throughout the filming process, we anticipated and met the production team’s every need, reflecting Dedeman’s commitment to hospitality in this special project. We are proud to accompany such a significant historical story on its journey to audiences.”
