^{Within March 25-31, 2019, three articles that generate hate speech were selected from print media. You can find these articles that contain hate Syrians, Jews and Armenians as well as the analyses
written about them below.1}  

1. In the article published in Antalya Gazipaşa with the title “Syrian kids caused trouble”, Syrian children are represented as “threat” and a source “trouble” as we see in the following sentences: “Syrian children who made shopkeepers in Gazipaşa tired of life went totally wild. It is claimed that a group of Syrian children between the ages of 7 and 10 wander around like a gang in Gazipaşa and harassed school children “and “Syrian children who allegedly keyed the cars in the same area and stole money from cars with open windows…”. The negative representation in the article despite the fact that Syrian children are deprived of many basic rights renders these violations invisible, generates stereotypes about children and contributes to their exclusion from society.

2. In the article published in Yeni Söz with the title “Jewish pressure to Muslim politician”, the US Representative Ilhan Omar’s being accused of anti-Semitism to her criticisms against Israel is covered with the title “Jewish pressure” and it is attributed to all Jews. The article foments enmity against Jews by positioning them in opposition to Muslims.

3. M. Aybike Sinan, in her column titled “Jojug Marjanli in Karabakh”, associates Armenians with violence and labels them as an enemy as we see in the following sentences: “We met Oktay Heziyev who hasn’t left his home and country despite Armenian occupation and lived under Armenian fire with his family for years” and “Life began again in Jojug Marjanli, Karabakh, but I must note that occupier Armenians are waiting for a few meters away with their guns aiming to our kin”. The columnist demonizes Armenian identity with remarks containing elements of enmity and hatred.

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.
