At a demonstration organized by the Alevi community under Dogan against the awarding of a peace prize to Erdoğan, Dogan said in front of around 25,000 participants: “We do not feel represented by Erdoğan. He is a flawless anti-democrat who cannot get a price for humanism and straightforwardness. "

At another large rally organized by Dogan against the policies of the Turkish government on June 22, 2013 in Cologne on the Heumarkt, according to the police, around 30,000-40,000 protesters gathered at the registration of the Alevi community.
