Alexandros Itimoudis wrote that his analyses were being republished by many Turkish pages and that he was followed by Turkish professors and journalists, with whom, as he mentioned, he had no problem discussing. He added that he considered it expected for them to support their country. He argued that recently the operators of Turkish bots reacted strongly to his posts because they did not want, in his estimation, discussions about Turkey. He said he had never insulted the country and that if he wanted to spread false information, he could do so through a fake profile. Itimoudis also claimed that some Turkish users threatened with violence and genocide in their responses. He described Turkish society as being strongly chauvinistic, especially in the lower social strata and in areas far from Ankara, while stating that in Greece there were similar people, but in his opinion, they were milder and did not follow his analyses. Noting that many Turks believed they were acting on behalf of their state, he said he would continue to write about Turkey but would disable comments due to the large number of bots. He added that he would respond to Turkish users whom he considered to be participating in a meaningful way, as long as they maintained a mild tone. #Τουρκία #Αναλύσεις #Κοινωνία (translated)
