A newspaper known to support Turkish president Erdogan is claiming that Jews are behind the disaster that killed hundreds of miners last week.
Yeni Akit, an Islamist paper, says it has revealed Jewish connections with a number of officials of the company that runs the mine.
It says that the original names of some of the members of the Asafra family that are involved in the company were originally Jewish, and they changed them to sound more Turkish (for example, Izak changed to Izzet.)
Some other equally tenuous connections to Jews are mentioned, such as business relationships between company officials and Jews.
None of this would make headlines unless the publisher assumes that Turkey is an antisemitic country.
