Within October 2-8, 2017, four news articles that generate hate speech were selected from the print media. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Serbians, Christians and Syrians as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. The news articles published in Yeni Akit with the title of “CHRISTIAN TERRORISM” on the first page and with the title of “Christian terror” inside bring Christians under suspicion, associate them with violence and incite enmity against them.

2. The news article titled "Taxes are rising because of Syrians" published in Sözcü covers statements blaming Syrians for certain economic problems in the country without using quotation marks. The newspaper thereby approves of a discourse that drives the existing prejudice and hate against Syrians in the society and helps it become widespread.

3. The news article titled "IT IS STEPHEN WHO DID THE SHOOTING BUT ISIS WHO ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT" published in the newspaper Türkiye, contains statements such as “Christian cutthroat raked the concert. The massacre was delegated again to Muslims through ISIS, an enemy of Islam" and "Christian attacker committed suicide at the hotel". These statements bring all Christians under suspicion due to the emphasis made on the religious identity of the suspect and the responsibility of violence is attributed to the Christian identity.

4. The news article titled “SERBIAN VIOLENCE IS BECOMING A TV SERIES” published in the newspaper Ankara Son Söz contained statements such as “The biggest massacre seen in history following the Second World War is the Bosnian Genocide. This atrocity, where 8,372 people died, committed by the Serbs is now becoming a topic for a TV series". The responsibility of the massacre is attributed to all Serbs with such statements. Serbian identity is thereby associated with violence and placed into enemy status.

^{1. Within the scope of the media monitoring work focusing on hate speech, all national newspapers and around 500 local newspapers are monitored based on pre-determined keywords (e.g. Traitor, apostate, refugee, Christian, Jewish, separatist, etc.) via the media monitoring center. While the main focus has been hate speech on the basis of national, ethnic and religious identities; sexist and homophobic discourses are also examined as part of the monitoring work.}
