On Changed Sections[edit]

Previously there was sections 'Turkish Version of Events' and 'Alternate View', but the accounts did not contradict each other. The former French soldier stated the same general events as the Turkish witnesses did: a soldier was drunk, he ripped off a veil, and in the ensuing altercation Imam fired off a shot and killed a soldier (see Kerr, p. 63). By highlighting non-existing differences by section, the framing of the article leads the reader to understand one version as misconstrued from the beginning. WP:NPOV

The former soldier clearly did not elaborate on the same details witnesses gave, or share the same account of the aftermath. But he notably also does not contradict any of these accounts, either, which makes positioning him as an 'alternate' view incorrect.

I understand people hesitate to trust government sources, which is why the more 'disputed' events of the aftermath have been sectioned off and highlighted as government reported. I looked up alternate versions of the events but could not find any directly contradicting either Kadir or the bystander being killed. Dsrlisan85 (talk) 23:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also feel free to correct/reword. There's not much info out there but there might be a bit I'm missing. Dsrlisan85 (talk) 01:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
