    That is fucking horrifying. Wasn’t planning on visiting Turkey anyway, but now I’d never even consider it.

    How is Turkey still a member of NATO? Time to kick them out and levy sanctions.

    I have so many questions about this article. First of all, who is Gercek News? It appears to just be a website run by 2 people. The article seems to do nothing but repeat the accusations with zero investigation or corroboration. I’m going to need more evidence than just one person’s Instagram account.
