The psychotic aspect is that the man is dead, yet still commands this type of idolatry to the Turks.
There is a well known phenomenon which describes the sort of people that can be made to believe the presence and influence of something that is clearly not there.
It has been observed in a proportion of the population which still insists they can feel a long-ago severed limb. They feel it itch as if it was still attached. These sorts of people are also found to be fanatics for a number of other attributes like religion. Also they lack free will.
I am also reminded of a book I read when I was a teenager, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. I think it was written in the 20's or 30's. The dystopia Huxley described was partly created by control over the people's minds through a process of Pavlovian conditioning and brainwashing.
The most worrying aspect is that there are so many of these types of non-questioning, socially primeval people. It encapsulates how different this mentality is to the progressive man, who is mature enough to take responsibility for his actions.
If only you could REALLY add up some sense with the sum of such claims, that would be absolutely amazing, however you are incapable of seeing anything that is not your own eyes, you are a lost cause from the root and everything else, falls nothing short from just detail, as they say in Turkish, "a tree can only be shaped when its young"
