Talk:Soner Cagaptay

The two major contributors of this article, namely "Turkish program" and "Turkish research" are probably closely connected with the topic and were created only to make a profile for this person. Those two accounts' only contribution to Wikipedia was to this specific article as well as its Turkish version (https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96zel:Katk%C4%B1lar/Turkish_program)

Miscellanea
He is, who he is! how is he still writing these lies without people standing up for justice and the truth? look at his article in the WSJ this is his way to corrupt and mislead people leading to violence and instability, these kind of people make the world a living hell! thanks WSJ! I hope you get what you deserve.

"Domestically, the AKP can’t fight the Kurds forever. Eventually, Mr. Erdogan will invite the PKK and its jailed leader, Abdullah Ocalan, back to peace talks, which collapsed in July. This might erode some of the support from Mr. Erdogan’s Turkish nationalist base, but it will boost Kurdish support of the AKP."

(the world is against terror, pkk are terrorist, turkey/akp are not fighting kurds, as he says in this paragraph, kurds are brothers and sisters with turks, turk and kurts are same, people/civilians apart of rich culture of turkey, pkk are extremist terrorist that includes Turkish and kurds with there main goal increasing power.)

"It’s a sad and vicious political cycle. The more authoritarian Mr. Erdogan’s actions, the more difficult it becomes for him to abide by the idea of losing power and being forced to pay for his transgressions. He has no choice but to oppress his people further. Turkey’s strongest man is also Turkey’s weakest man, as long as the country remains a democracy."

what on earth is this guy taking for drugs? after becoming turkeys leader he worked hard to make turkey a better place for everyone, economically and politically stability and most important increasing the quality of life overall, but according to this person he continues to oppress his people? what dose this tell about WSJ or the people? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.125.170 (talk) 08:01, 5 November 2015 (UTC)


 * this guy is a total dush bag —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.89.234.27 (talk) 03:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Dush bag' or not, the reference of the following line "His position regarding ruling Justice and Development Party and Islamic groups were criticized as reflecting his intimate relations with the American neo-conservative groups." does not say anything substantial about Cagaptay's links with neo-conservative groups. 87.210.159.126 (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Soner Cagaptay → Soner Çağaptay –'''
 * precise name. - Takabeg (talk) 00:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Contest. Not saying this shouldn't be done in the long run, but diacritics are definitely not uncontroversial. By the way, The New York Times gives him as simply "Soner Cagaptay". Jenks24 (talk) 00:44, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Contest. Other sources that use Soner Cagaptay are the Jerusalem Post and CNN. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:08, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. His name is certainly not pronounced Ka-GAP-tay, and should thus be rendered faithfully. -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 04:47, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
