Before you get upset with the picture above, let me explain that it shows Hrant Dink's killer, center, with policemen on either side. Why are they portraying a killer with the national flag on video?
Two Turkish security officials lost their jobs on Monday in a widening investigation into video footage that appeared to portray as a hero the teenage killer of a prominent Turkish-Armenian editor.Turkey's internal state is very confusing to me. Can it really be the case that ultranationalists have penetrated deep into Turkey's security forces?
The video footage has revived fears in Turkey of a shadowy "deep state" working in collusion with criminal gangs. The "deep state" is code for hardline nationalists purportedly based in the security forces who are ready to break the law if need be in defense of their ideology.
