Excerpt:

There are many people in the country who produce conspiracy theories. Also, it is obvious that some things are not conspiracy theories. The country is under attack; they make new attempts every day.

The easiest way to wear out a country is through the media.

There is news against Turkey in the foreign press every single day. Besides the anti-Turkey news, the U.S. media has gone even further by spreading FETÖ propaganda. The German media does the same.
