The Turkish president has hit out at military graduates who took a pro-secular oath during their graduation ceremony, promising that those behind it would be “purged” from the military.

Speaking at a conference for Islamic schools in the northwestern city of Kocaeli on Saturday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described those involved as “opportunists.” He added that an investigation was underway and vowed that ”the few impertinent individuals responsible will be purged.”

Turkey has become more overtly religious under Erdogan, shedding some of the secularist traditions of the original Kemalist republic.

Turkey’s military has traditionally viewed itself as the guarantor of secularism, which has resulted in a series of coups. It led three takeovers between 1960 and 1980 and toppled a conservative government in 1997. However in 2016, an attempt to overthrow Erdogan and his religious-conservative administration was foiled and thousands of people were purged from the armed forces, the judiciary, and other public institutions.

A teenager has been arrested after a masked attacker stabbed five people at an open-air cafe in Turkey and broadcast the rampage on social media.

Wearing a helmet, mask and bulletproof vest adorned with neo-Nazi symbolism, the attacker – who was also armed with an axe – used a knife to stab people at a tea garden and a tram stop in the northwestern city of Eskisehir, reports suggest.

Two people were left in a critical condition, Turkish broadcaster Haberturk reported.

An online handle linked to the attacker in local media reports appears to have engaged with content relating to racist abuse and mass killings.

A photograph appearing to show the attacker’s weapons and protective gear, published by Istanbul-based outlet Oksijen, showed a mask bearing a neo-Nazi-linked skull, a knife adorned with swastikas and other Nazi symbols and a vest featuring a sun symbol co-opted by the Nazis.

The Turkish presidency's communications director Fahrettin Altun on Wednesday hit out at Meta-owned Instagram, accusing the platform of "impeding people from publishing messages of condolence for the martyr Haniyeh".

Ismail Haniyeh, the political chief of the armed Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and a close ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was killed in Tehran on Wednesday in an attack blamed on Israel.

"This is a very clear and obvious attempt at censure," Altun said on X.

Meta said on Monday that it plans to “temporarily” shutter Threads in Turkey from April 29, in response to an interim injunction imposed by the Turkish competition authority last month over the way Meta shares data between Threads and Instagram.

The Turkish Competition Authority (TCA), known as Rekabet Kurumu, noted on March 18 that its investigations found that Meta was abusing its dominant market position by combining the data of users who create Threads profiles with that of their Instagram account — without giving users the choice to opt-in.

Merhaba!

I have been learning Turkish for a little while now, and I can't find anyone to ask advice, or other learners for mutual encouragement. I used to visit the Turkish sub on reddit, but I don't use reddit any more since recent events.

I really like how Turkish sounds, how it looks in writing/text, and it's making me more curious about other parts of Turkish culture, history etc.

As I'm sure you all will know, it's incredibly difficult to stay motivated while learning a language. Especially in isolation.

It would be great if there was even a language post in this community. Maybe there aren't enough learners to do that, I don't know. What do you think?
