Within July 24-30, 2017, four news articles that generate hate speech were selected from the print media. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, Armenians, Buddhists, Germans and Jews as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. Burhan Bozgeyik, in his article titled  "HAGIA SOFIA IS OURS! IT WILL BE A MOSQUE! IT WILL REMAIN OURS!", with statements such as "The first move for now should be opening Hagia Sofia to worship. This move is necessary faced with the actions of Greeks alone For how long more can we tolerate their insolence?”, causes reinforcement of the negative feelings towards Greeks and fueling of antagonism against the Greeks.

2. In the news article published by the newspaper Yeni Mesaj with the title "Jewish oppression has no boundaries" on the first page and with the title "Jewish oppression does not seem to come to an end" on the inner pages, events caused by a group of radical settlers are conveyed in a manner to bring all Jews under suspicion. Jews are thus associated with violence and the already existing prejudice towards them is fueled.

3. Mehmet Koçak, in his column titled “Germans are after revenge”, addresses recent diplomatic issues between Turkey and Germany. The author brings the whole German identity under suspicion due to diplomatic and political decisions for which the German government is responsible and he creates a perception of enmity between the two peoples with the expression ‘revenge’.

4. Fatih Sevgili, in his article titled “Turkey in my eyes..” with statements such as “Bosnians who ran away from the genocide carried out at the heart of the Barbarian Europe, Muslims who ran away from the Greek-Bulgarian oppression, Jews who ran away from the Nazi genocide, and Jews who ran away from oppression in Spain came to and took refuge in Turkey…”. and “Chechens, Afghans who ran away from the Russian oppression, Uighurs who ran away from the Chinese oppression. Azerbaijanis who ran away from the Armenian oppression. People of Arakan who ran away from the Buddhist oppression took refuge in Turkey", attributes the responsibility of violence and massacres to certain ethnical, religious and national identities in their entirety associating Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, Armenians and Buddhists with violence and creating a negative prejudice against them in the readers’ perception.
