My hypothesis is to never trust anything published about Turkey in Britain. Their coverage of Turkey is viscerally driven by an Orientalist lunacy from the past.
You may point out that Britain is not the only country that specialized in Orientalist literature, vilifying, assaulting, trivializing and slandering those whom they wanted to subvert or control.
The stereotypes they created about Islam, Arabia, Asia, Africa and other peoples and cultures continue to bedevil international relations today. Their pundits, possessing brutal mental strength, continue to propound theories of a clash of civilizations.
Colonialism afforded great protection and patronage to Orientalist writers and artists. France, Germany and Italy were among those who played a major role in that hideous literature.
Contemporary Zionism and neoconservative cultures borrow a lot from the old traditions that should have been buried post-colonialism, to at least atone for past sins, but they have made a resurgence as the base desires of seeking conflict and domination have reared their head again.
