PROPAGANDA TURKI DAN DINAMIKA ISU ETNIS KURDI DALAM PENGAJUAN KEANGGOTAAN UNI EROPA
This study aims to explain how the Turkish government employs propaganda practices to conceal human rights violations against the Kurdish ethnic group during its European Union accession period. Using Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model, the research analyzes how state propaganda mechanisms operate through information filtering, issue diversion, and media framing to construct a positive international image of Turkey. This study applies a qualitative approach, with data collected through literature review, including reports from international organizations, media publications, European Union policy documents, and previous research. The findings indicate that Turkey utilizes domestic media control, government-affiliated media ownership, and counter-terrorism ideology to suppress negative coverage related to human rights abuses against the Kurds. These strategies are employed to meet the political standards of the Copenhagen Criteria, particularly the requirement for minority rights protection, which remains one of the primary obstacles in Turkey's accession process. The research concludes that Turkey's propaganda practices contribute to shaping external perceptions of domestic political stability and the human rights situation; however, they remain insufficient to eliminate the European Union's criticism regarding egarding Turkey's handling of the Kurdish issue.
