Within June 26 – July 2, 2017, four news articles that generate hate speech were selected from the print media. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Armenians, Rûms, Syrians, Jews and LGBTIs as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. The newspaper Yeni Devir covers the approval of the legal regulation to legalize same-sex marriages in Germany in the news article titled "GERMANY APPROVED DEVIANCE". LGBTIs are insulted because of their sexual orientations and sexualities through the expression ‘deviation’ used in the title of the news article. The newspaper thus causes normalization and spreading of the discrimination that targets LGBTIs.

2. Events caused by a group of radical settlers are conveyed in a manner to bring all Jews under suspicion in the news article titled "JEWISH OCCUPANTS set the fields on fire" published by the newspaper Güneş. Jews are thus associated with violence and the existing prejudice towards them is fueled.

3. An isolated event is reported by making an emphasis on the national identity of the suspect despite the absence of any direct connection in the news article titled “The Syrian who had stolen money from the drawer was arrested” published by the newspaper Yeni Konya. Syrians are thus coded as a potential threat and associated with crime based on a singular event.

4. Şükrü Alnıaçık, in his article called “Artificial Rûms – Synthetic Armenians!” with statements such as “Yesterday, the former Marxist Baskın Oran made an Armenian oriented Kurdist agitation again. He claimed that ‘The state made experiments on Kurds’ ” and “The only ideology that would keep a nation upright in Anatolia is Nationalism! That is why Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, Urartus and Hellenistic kingdoms no longer exist today. Ideologies that reject nationalism are generating ‘artificial’ Rûms and ‘synthetic’ Armenians in Turkey!” positions the Rûm and Armenian identities themselves as a 'threat' and reinforces the negative perceptions towards them.

^{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.}
