    Jews and Armenians are exposed to hate speech more than any other
    group, according to a periodic report on hate speech in the Turkish
    media, released by the Hrant Dink Foundation.

    According to Hurriyet Daily News, the report was conducted by scanning
    16 newspapers by hand and searching for key words in the rest of the
    1,000 national and local newspapers published between September and
    December 2012.

    Jews and Armenians are used in hate speech the most, followed by
    Christians and Greeks living in Turkey, according to the report
    released Feb. 25 on the website of the Hrant Dink Foundation. The
    category of "other" is composed of hate speech against LGBT people and
    women. Certain people and institutions are also exposed to hate crimes
    apart from ethnic, religious and national groups, the report said.

    Columns topped the list of media that has used hate speech most
    frequently. Although the amount of hate speech targeting Kurdish people
    decreased in this period, the report contends it was a result of
    differentiating between "good Kurds" and "others in the media." The
    Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) is widely considered the same as
    the outlawed.

    Kurdistan Workers' Group (PKK) and subsequently became a target of
    hate speech as well, the report added.

    The top three dailies that included hate speech content are Yeni
    Akit, Milli Gazete and Yeni Mesaj, respectively, the report said,
    adding that in the local media, Istanbul, Gölcuk Postası, and Yozgat
    Hakimiyet were top three dailies that used hate speech the most.
