Ankara, (IINA) - Russia has activated its Cold War era propaganda system "Pravda news" against Turkey as it did during the Ukrainian crisis under its political interests, Anadolu Agency reported.
Moscow has been using "Pravda news" propaganda against Turkey since it shot down a Russian SU-24 jet because it violated Turkish airspace despite repeated warnings on November 24.
However, several news items run by Russian outlets have been proven wrong. For example, the Russian Sputnik News Agency claimed recently that France's Permanent Representative to NATO Jean-Baptiste Mattei said that "Turkey axes operations against Daesh"; however, Mattei himself clarified that this Sputnik story was false.
In addition, Russian media alleged that there was a picture of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's son Bilal Erdogan with ISIS members. However, the picture, which showed people with beards sitting alongside Bilal Erdogan, was of the "Kamber brothers" who own a restaurant in Istanbul.
Moreover, many Russian commanders claimed that the terrorist organization ISIS was selling oil via Turkey, they also claimed to show routes taken for such oil shipments on maps; however, it was found that the alleged routes were in fact under the control of the Russian government-backed Bashar Al-Assad regime and the PYD, the terrorist PKK organization’s Syrian affiliate.
Also, former staff of Russian RIA Novosti agency and propagandist expert Vasily Gatov said: "Russian state televisions are now applying the tricks for Syria as they do in Ukraine".
Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, Andrew Wilson emphasized that “Pravda journalism” had only one message even though it changed at times.
"Pravda journalism's only message is to support Russia's attitude in Ukraine and Syria, and cause confusion abroad," Wilson said.
