I can understand why Persians are so upset about the news. You guys are so fanatic and nationalistic. You blame Today`s Zaman but in international arena it is accepted as a respectful newspaper, therefore, its news quoted by different reliable newspapers in the world. And before you blame someone else, you first had better look at your Press TV.
On topic, every country has spies, it is no secret. Believe or not, spies run wild in our country and there are tons of them including ally countries` spies. Catching the spies from Iran just shows how Iran initiated to destabilize our country especially after stances of Iranian politics, Chief of Staff, and Khamenei against Turkiye. This spy issue does not make me angry because every country spies on others, but what makes me so angry is that our government takes Iran issue so lightly because of the people in the government who are lover, supporter, and enthusiast of Iran despite what Iran says and does against our country.
I am not a hater of Iran, but I know history very well and it is so obvious what Iran wants to accomplish. We have an expression in our country which is "Acem Oyunu" that means in English "The trick/deception of Persian". We say this because our history taught us how Persians can play dirty games. Some examples, Turkiye got Iran back in UNSC to support Iran, we allow Iranian companies to establish in Turkiye and ease the burden of sanctions, we co-operated with Iran and shared intelligence regarding PKK when Iran fought them. Even we gave intelligence them to capture Murat Karayilan (the leader of KCK/PKK) and guess what? Iran captured Karayilan, agreed with him, and released him. After that PKK stopped fighting Iran. We all did these for Iran, but in return what we got were that Iran became using PKK to attack Turkiye; Iran allows PKK to use its territory and even guard stations to use as base to attack Turkiye; Iran tries to destabilize our country and tries to spread Shi'ism in Turkiye. Despite all of these, the sympathizers of Iran in the government still think that this situation is temporary and the relation will be all right again.
I am not saying we should be enemy of Iran, but what I am saying we must extremely careful and cautious about Iran
