So, the government of Turkey is considering introducing a ban on Minecraft. They say that it's too violent and also that it can condition kids to punch animals in hopes of harvesting blocks.

You're suggesting that the story is rubbish because it didn't contain quotes, in Turkish? It did attribute the push to Aysenur Islam and the report that he commissioned.

There are no real quotes confirming that it might get banned. The closest that I can see is quoting quote from some Turkish reporter who maybe quoted some reliable source e.g someone in the government: “[We] will examine the game and see if there is an element of violence” .

Even if the facts the author of the article were true, there is no doubt that article you linked has reeks of hyperbole and sensationalism. And the truth is the author of the article did no investigative reporting, only rephrasing what some other website said. What if the website she was referencing was wrong? We would never know.
The journalism in the article is complete garbage for the fact that there is just one quote that is even relevant, all the other quotes are "gaming experts" opinions about a topic in a country they don't even live in.
After I read the article, I viewed the author of the article's profile and her recent works. All of her articles are stretching truths and altering messages. Attached image.
