An Example on Media's Molding Public Opinion and Perception Management: a TV Series Named “Eskiya Dunyaya Hukumdar Olmaz/Grand Family”
Written by Hüseyin Caner AKKURT

Here we are, another midnight declaration.
Again the enthusiasm for coup, again the enthusiasts of coup emerged...

The idiots, traitors, boneheads of our great country are not over...

Our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke yesterday at the 7th Ordinary Provincial Congress of the AK Party in Trabzon. In his speech, he made the following sentences that may not attract much attention, but are very important in my opinion: "We will not wait for terrorists to come to us, we will go and crush their heads in their dens."
Our condolences to our nation
We are deeply saddened by the loss of 13 young children of our country, who have been fighting against terrorism in the region for nearly half a century, in a treacherous terrorist attack.
