He is pursuing his PhD at Yeditepe University in Istanbul.

Zie ik het nu goed, en staat de factchecker Baybars Orsek voor een portret van Ataturk, die hij kennelijk bewondert. Daarom even wat facts checken over het militair optreden van Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938), 'the founder of the Republic of Turkey and the consummator of the Armenian Genocide':

When the French formally agreed to evacuate Cilicia in October 1921, the debacle signified a second deportation for the Armenians of the region. In the meantime, the Turkish Nationalist forces had gone to war against the Republic of Armenia. With secret instructions from the Ankara government to proceed with the physical elimination of Armenia, General Kiazim Karabekir seized half the territories of Armenia in November 1920 as Red Army units Sovietized the remaining areas. Once again the Armenian population was driven out at the point of the sword with heavy casualties as the city of Kars and its surrounding region were annexed by Turkey.

The final chapter of the Armenians in Anatolia was written in Smyrna (Izmir) as Kemalist forces routed the Greek army and entered the city in September 1922. Soon after, a fire begun in the Armenian neighborhood consumed the entire Christian sector of the city and drove the civilian population to the shore whence they sailed into exile bereft of all belongings. With this exodus from the mainland, Mustafa Kemal completed what Talaat and Enver had started in 1915, the eradication of the Armenian population of Anatolia and the termination of Armenian political aspirations in the Caucasus. With the expulsion of the Greeks, the Turkification and Islamification of Asia Minor was nearly complete.

Is it sensible to let this Turkish journalist, with his close ties to the Turkish state and military remain director of the International Fact-Checking Network?

Hoi Stan,

https://oversightboard.com/appeals-process/ Eerst willen ze een rapportje van je zonder jou van zelfs je eigen data die ze verborgen hebben te voorzien, om hun 'feedback te verbeteren'. Dan komen ze met een gelikte site waar je een bezwaar kunt indienen.
Maar pas op, dit is allemaal om nog meer data te verzamelen om ons later mee om de oren te kunnen slaan door met behulp van die data hun 'spelregels' te veranderen. Ik doe er niks mee.
Facebook kan wat mij betreft de achterbaks corrupte Facebook treiterfascistenkanker krijgen, precies zoals ik ze in dat rapportje al had geschreven. Ik ben mijn eigen ballotage commissie. Niets kan mij nog beïnvloeden. Ben mijn naïviteit kwijt en vrij. Twee dingen waar Facebook de meeste hekel aan heeft.

het is nog erger. wanneer facebook vermoedt dat jij niet te overtuigen bent omdat je bijvoorbeeld te veel weet, of omdat je logisch kunt nadenken, reageert facebook niet op een vraag, terwijl het belooft dit wel te doen. dat is totalitair.
