.......Baysal also referenced a tweet by a Turkish citizen pointing out how Altintas was merely eight years old when Erdogan and the AKP had come into office in 2002. The man's point, that the ruling party and its leader are responsible for creating such religious extremists through their project of raising “devout and revengeful youth,” is a common view. As Al-Monitor writer Zulfikar Dogan pointed out a while ago, the term “devout and revengeful youth” comes from Erdogan’s past statements calling for the creation of a religious generation in Turkey and specifically advising his young supporters “not to lose their anger” in the face of injustices that they suffered at the hands of Turkey’s past secular regimes. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/12/eurasia-tunnel-overshadows-karlov-murder.html
