The information portal "Kosovapost.net" published on Sunday (January 15) with the title "Turkish analyst surprises the whole world with his action, brings out the Albanian flag on the show, these are...!".
The content of the article states that Turkish analyst Ahmet Cakar has openly expressed his love for Albanians and for the triumphs of Albanians as a people everywhere.
After verification conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that this article is old, published in October 2015, and the content of the published article is out of context.
So, the portal in question tried to present this old article as current.

Excerpts from the article published on Kosovapost.net:
Turkish analyst Ahmet Cakar, while debating the history of peoples on a television show, brought up the Albanian falmur in the middle of the show and declared that they (Albanians) wrote the true history.
The Turkish analyst on the show did not hold back and openly expressed his love for Albanians and for the triumphs of Albanians as a people everywhere.
"Albanians are a determined, loyal and successful people in all fields. They have written the true history, which is why I admire and support them in every way," Ahmet Cakar declared, among other things.
Based on the research conducted through online search engines, the show in which Ahmet Çakar unfurls the Albanian flag has been found. The show in which the flag was unfurled is a football show and is called "Beyaz Futbol".
Ahmet Çakar, besides being a doctor by profession, has also been a professional football referee for a long time, as well as a football commentator on television. (here)
In the show of October 13, 2015, where the topic of discussion remains Turkey's qualification for the 2016 European Football Championship, Çakar, shortly before the end of the show (min 120, or 2 hours), unfurls the Albanian flag, commenting on the success of the Albanian national team in qualifying for Euro 2016. Çakar emphasizes the fact that, despite the fact that the salaries of the Albanian national team players are much less than the income of football in Turkey, Albania has achieved global success by qualifying for the 2016 European Championship, making history.

So, we are dealing with the success of the Albanian national football team, not the triumphs of Albanians as a people everywhere in a debate about the history of peoples, as the aforementioned information portal claims.
