2. In the article published in Yeni Şafak with the title “Racist Greek will be punished”, Greek identity is associated with racism. Claiming all Greeks are racist, this title foments negative sentiments about Greeks.

^{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.}
