Erdogan's death news

In the reported allegations, “reports of the death of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, due to a severe heart attack.” A screenshot bearing the BBC News Arabic logo, and its transmission has been active for hours, via WhatsApp, while it has been transmitted by accounts and pages on other platforms. To communicate The social… and “strict secrecy inside the Turkish Republican Palace,”

It turned out that these allegations about Erdogan's death were false, and the screenshot circulated in the name of BBC News Arabic was fabricated, and old. In the latest news about Erdogan, the Turkish president is preparing to conduct an African tour next week, according to what “Turkey News Agency” quotes informed diplomatic sources as, on January 21, 2020.

Erdogan's death

 “Exclusive news for the BBC,” according to the allegations. The screenshot circulated through WhatsApp, as well as on other social media platforms, predicts “Erdogan’s death due to a severe heart attack.” Accounts have attached them to other screenshots bearing the logo of Arab media organizations and news sites, such as Tahrir News, Al-Shorouk, Al-Jazeera, and Al-Masry Al-Youm (here, here, here, and here).

A dumpling story reveals the brutality of humans and social media

- In search of the news, using keywords, it turns out that the same screenshot, and an alleged BBC story as well, had previously spread extensively on social media, in July 2019 (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here), This necessitated that the Turkish website Teyit.org, which specializes in scrutinizing news and photos (here, July 27, 2019), investigated the authenticity of the reported news.

- Another thing we would like to point out to you: a fake BBC screenshot (similar to the rest of the screenshots bearing the names of several Arab media organizations and news sites). It suffices to compare the snapshot (below right) to the way BBC News Arabic presents the images with news and videos on its website and various social platforms (Facebook and Twitter). This method is standardized, and is not at all similar to the method we see in the moving screenshot.
On the other hand, a search on the BBC News Arabic website, as well as the BBC website in English, confirms that the two websites did not publish this news. Likewise, no foreign news websites and international agencies of any importance and credibility have mentioned it. As of this writing, none of the Agence France-Presse, Reuters and Associated Press agencies had reported the alleged "death" of Erdogan.
