Within September 17-23, 2018, three articles that generate hate speech were selected. You can find these articles that contain hate speech against Greeks, Armenians, Jews and Syrians as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. The article published in Yeni Konya with the title “Jews detained Palestinian family” reports the incident by holding all Jews responsible. In this way, the newspaper reinforces negative opinions about Jewish identity and cements the perception of enmity.

2. In the article published inYeniçağ with the title “Syrians took the jobs of Turks”, Syrians are represented as an economic threat and negative opinions about Syrians are reinforced with the dichotomy of “us vs them”.

3. Orhan Kılıçoğlu in his column titled “Brats having a problem with Turks", writes: “If you look into the genealogy of people like this, you would see that they are either the pups of the ones whom we chased to the sea in Izmir or the brats of undercover Armenians who act like one of us.” With this remark, he targets Greek and Armenian identity by repeating a discourse of enmity from the past; he incites enmity between peoples.

^{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.
