The Ak Party deputy chairperson Fırat says that Atatürk's revolutions traumatized the society, although he adds that he does not say that the revolutions were god or bad. He blames the media for conducting a psychological warfare.

Turkey is not one of hostile countries to the internet, but it has kept YouTube, the biggest video sharing site, inaccessible for two months because of insulting videos to Atatürk. The prosecutor says it is not enough to remove them from the Turkish database.

Bezirgan, a “headscarfed woman”, who announced that she did not like Atatürk during a TV show, said that the issue is not whether or not to like him, but how much freedom of expression there is.

Nuray Bezirgan, a Muslim woman, admits she does not like Atatürk in a TV program and the prosecutor starts an investigation.
