Audio Analysis: Erdogan Goons Were Told To ‘Attack’ Protesters

By Chuck Ross on The Daily Caller

Audio Analysis: Erdogan Goons Were Told To ‘Attack’ Protesters - Part 1

A professional sound editor named Salih Ferad conducted the analysis on behalf of The Daily Caller.

Using noise isolation techniques, Ferad says that the words “dalın diyor, servet abi dalın diyor” can be heard coming from the presidential guard just after Erdogan is seen speaking with his bodyguard in the first video.

That translates to “he says attack servet abi, he says attack.” Another translation of the phrase is “he says dive in” or “plunge in.”

“Servet” is the name of the person being addressed, and “abi” translates to the term of endearment, “older brother.”

In a second video recorded in the middle of the brawl, Erdogan’s men are heard yelling “gel gel gel” — “come, come, come” — and “dalın diyor dalın diyor dalın diyor,” or “he says attack.”

The battle cries came just after Erdogan appeared to relay orders to his personal bodyguard while sitting in the back of a black Mercedes Benz outside of the embassy. Read more at The Daily Caller.
