Jews and Armenians are exposed to hate speech more than any other

group, according to a periodic report on hate speech in the Turkish

media, released by the Hrant Dink Foundation.

 

According to Hurriyet Daily News, the report was conducted by scanning

16 newspapers by hand and searching for key words in the rest of the

1,000 national and local newspapers published between September and

December 2012.

 

Jews and Armenians are used in hate speech the most, followed by

Christians and Greeks living in Turkey, according to the report

released Feb. 25 on the website of the Hrant Dink Foundation. The

category of "other" is composed of hate speech against LGBT people and

women. Certain people and institutions are also exposed to hate crimes

apart from ethnic, religious and national groups, the report said.

 

Columns topped the list of media that has used hate speech most

frequently. Although the amount of hate speech targeting Kurdish people

decreased in this period, the report contends it was a result of

differentiating between "good Kurds" and "others in the media." The

Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) is widely considered the same as

the outlawed.

 

Kurdistan Workers' Group (PKK) and subsequently became a target of

hate speech as well, the report added.

Akit, Milli Gazete and Yeni Mesaj, respectively, the report said,

adding that in the local media, Istanbul, Gölcuk Postası, and Yozgat

Hakimiyet were top three dailies that used hate speech the most.
