Abstract :

The year 2017 constituted a period of deep crisis and mutual distrust in relations between Turkey and Europe.

During the referendum campaign on a proposed change to the constitution, the Turkish government reacted harshly to European countries that prohibited politicians campaigning in their territories.

The key members of the ruling Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi – AKP) also met the European response with enmity. A detailed analysis of the discourse of the AKP’s key cadre during the 2017 crisis reveals element of a new phenomenon which is emerging in the politics of many countries: post-truth.
