The Saint Around The World: Turkey

Leslie Charteris: Aziz in Turkish

The Saint was published in Turkey in paperback format. While the Turkish word for Saint is aziz it appears that they used the English nickname, The Saint in most cases -- the Val Kilmer movie being one noted exception. The 1984 Turkish edition, Gerçekleşen Düşler, holds the record for the strangest Saint cover artwork due to having C3PO from Star Wars on the front.

Turkish Movie Posters of The Saint

Vendetta For The Saint starring Roger Moore as Simon Templar was released in Turkey as Saint'in Dönüşü -- this translates to "Return of The Saint" which is why it was also used for the Ian Ogilvy series in the 1970s.
