COMMUNICATION Directorate's Center for Combating Disinformation (DMM) shared a video message on the 10th anniversary of the coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
Footage of the coup attempt was included in the video message shared on DMM's virtual media account. In the message, "A coup is tried to be prepared in the mind before the tanks take to the streets. FETO has done exactly this for years. With disinformation, manipulation, provocation, it first targeted trust, targeted the leader, targeted institutions. It magnified the lie, managed the perception, distorted the information, divided the society, tried to create a feeling of constant crisis. It wanted to overshadow the truth with headlines, fake accounts, digital networks, and organized content. In the period leading up to July 15, it targeted the minds." On the night of the coup, he tried to break the will of the nation with lies, panic and chaos. Even though FETO's method has changed, it has not changed; a great epic was written on July 15. Even though FETO tried to continue its lies, the strong will of the nation. It continues to hit its unshakable wall, because the nation is invincible, the truth is insurmountable."
