Terrorism THE DEFINITION OF TERROR As the individual communication and mass media tools develop, the strategies and tactics of psychological war have developed in the same dimension, and have become a kind of art and science in highly complicated levels. From this point of view, the communication era we live in is also defined as the era of psychological wars. As a result of the changing balances of the world and the differentiation in the international affairs, the method of cold wars have substituted for the hot wars. The psychological war which appears to be the requisite of the cold war, and the low intense conflicts as the unavoidable element of this have revealed the concept of terror. Terrorism, which is the element of the psychological war generally, arises as a result of putting the invasive opinions and activities, which already exist or are artificially formed, in action on a specific purpose. Terrorism tends to display variation along with the improving and changing conditions in the world, and increases its effect and strength with the new facilities and capabilities obtained depending on the developing technology day by day. The steps taken in the field of becoming democratic diminish terror in quantity. Nevertheless, in democratic atmosphere the efficiency of terror activities increases more by the use of mass media tools, particularly. The terror activities, which are resulted from the socio-economical conditions of the society and the defect in the existing system go under the control of some forces or are artificially built on problems subject to exploitation. The actions of terror occur periodically and within waves, lose significance in the course of time, and afterwards, accelerate again. There is a close relation which is observed between the period of time terror accelerates and international political affairs, political and social problems which are seen regionally and all over the country.
