despite lack of evidence and possible psy-op potential in the region as it is close to Syria border, even our liberal minded Turks turn into patriots. It is just a matter of moment, mobs might attack a pre-defined target, our newly christened patriots will cry justificatory explanations… Pro-Kurdish BDP’s Gaziantep office is burnt down ust an hour after the explosion….
In the mean time, one of ministers urged citizens not to believe in social media and to trust only what the State says… It looks like CENSORSHIP, right? And at the same time, all TV channels stopped reporting about the attack. Such coordination… Only coverage takes place in social media. @serdarakinan has been reporting from the field, for instance…
