Orhan Gencebay succeeded completely to blend orient and eastern tunes into one shape in new way he had started.  His "progressive" music was understood as being arabesque amongst people except for some as a result his music was prohibited and sometimes limited in Turkey (on TVs, Radios etc).
Finally I can say that Orhan is very rare musician in the world that performed progressive tunes with a naturel instrument (in a way it can be seen how some indian musicians performed with their sitar also).
In the movie "Crossing the Bridge" the interviewer asked Orhan about this "Arabesk style", which he said came from people who listened to Arab flavoured music on the radio.

We’ll dip liberally into the soundtrack from the new film, “Crossing The Bridge,” in which the musician and composer, Alexander Hacke (of the German avantgarde band Einstürzende Neubauten), sets out with his mobile recording studio on the streets of Istanbul to capture a cross-section of Turkish music.
Some of the artists documented include fusion DJs Orient Expressions, the "Elvis of Arabesque" Orhan Gencebay, and digital dervish Mercan Dede, among others.
