State broadcaster TRT is canceling one of its top shows, “Sakarya Fırat,” in accordance with the Zeitgeist occasioned by the ongoing peace process, according to an online TV news site.

TVAktüel said the show, which focuses on the struggles of soldiers and locals in the eastern parts of the country under the threat of activity by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), will end its run this season after 151 episodes.

The show was one of TRT’s most watched during its four-season run, with a solid spot in a list of the country’s most-watched shows.

The decision reportedly is motivated by the ongoing peace process, according to the report.
