In the Reichsrat, Türk appeared as a German-national anti-Semite and a follower of Georg von Schönerer and was the focal point of the German-national MPs after he was withdrawn from his mandate . In the Reichsrat deliberation on the bill on the "legal relationships of the Israelite religious societies" in February 1890, he brought up the Tiszaeszlár affair eight years ago in order to bring the blood accusation against the Jews into the room, and he succeeded in bringing the debate into it Divert direction.
