The YPG/PKK continues its smear campaign against Turkey’s #OperationPeaceSpring in Syria. Here are some examples on how the terror group uses fake images for propaganda:
⚠️So-called #CatastrophedeSmyrne
🇫🇷French AFP (@AFP) defines the Turkish War of Independence as a massacre!
❌FALSE: "The massacre of hundreds of thousands of Greeks expelled from Türkiye."

❌False claims by 🇫🇷French President Macron who tries to get rid of his colonial past by accusing 🇹🇷Türkiye!

❌False: Turkish pop star #Gülşen was arrested over a joke about Turkish religious schools.
✅FACT: She was arrested not because of her comments, jokes or quips about the schools, but only for insulting and defaming graduates from the schools, which have more than 610k students.
❌False Claim: 🇹🇷Türkiye received a 25% discount in grain prices from 🇺🇦Ukraine!
✅UN: “We did much research, as much research as possible, and we can tell you that there was no discount built into the Black Sea Grain Initiative agreement that was signed in #Istanbul.”
❌NBC Investigations (@NBCInvestigates) intentionally twisting the news!
✅So-called commander is a member of YPG/PKK/SDF and PKK is listed as a terror organization by the European Union and the United States!
❌The New York Times article is excessively partisan, biased and misleading.
📌The US is supporting Türkiye's enemy PKK/YPG and Turkish President Erdogan only endeavours to discover a solution to prevent terrorism.

❌Reuters’s news report has several factual mistakes!

❌FALSE CLAIM by THE TIMES (@thetimes)
✅FACT: Türkiye, which has hosted the largest number of refugees in the world for 8 years, cannot bear any more burden upon the request of third countries.
❌🇬🇷Greece's baseless allegations of 'constant aggressive behaviour' on the part of 🇹🇷Türkiye.
✅HERE ARE THE FACTS!
👇👇👇👇
❌False: Türkiye was complicit in the genocide against Yazidis and didn't prevent the killings in Syria and Iraq.
✅Fact: Turkey has opened its doors and become a safe haven for millions of Syrians and Yazidis, as well as providing protection to the people of the region.
❌Türkiye rejected "biased and unrealistic assessments" from the 🇪🇺European Parliament with a "shallow and visionless approach" in its 2021 report on the country.

📢The Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned and rejected #Germany’s “baseless” statements against Türkiye.
❌Greece is the only country in the world which claims more airspace than its territorial waters.
⚠️As a matter of fact, 🇬🇷Greece is arming the islands close to Türkiye, a move which is in contradiction with the 1923 Lausanne and 1947 Paris peace treaties.
🇹🇷Türkiye expects 🇩🇪Germany to invite Greece to act in accordance with international agreements.
