Cemil Bayık pointed out that the AKP government issued a media blackout to form perceptions and wrote: “Mere minutes after the murder, they said ‘This murder was committed by Fethullahists, this murder is a provocation to damage the developing good relations between Turkey and Russia’. The special war determined this official view, then made everybody speak in that line. The partisan press has brazenly repeated the same song. Many others are asking who committed this act, and who’s behind it, looking for a concrete state, organization and person. And that in itself becomes a way to cover up the truth.”
