content

The book describes the possible slip of a high school graduate (Gülay) into a criminal migrant scene in Hamburg as well as his career in the Turkish-dominated mafia-like environment. A foreword by Bilkay Öney introduces the autobiographical story.

Warning

After the publication, a warning was issued to refrain from further dissemination of the one-to-one conversation described in the book. The content of the conversation in connection with Gülay's election as head boy is disputed by the interlocutor, which leads to problems of legal evidence. After that, the book was temporarily no longer available and from October 30, 2009 it was only available in a version that had been blacked out in the relevant place.

Reviews

  • “Türken-Sam” is not a book. It's five in one: required reading on 50 years of Turkish-German migration history and the origins of hatred of German and Turkish hatred, exemplary biography, gangster crime thriller, introduction to the fraud business of commodities. Because of all this, some omissions and errors are allowed.
  • So this book is a vivid description of the criminal scene and its fascination, offers some unexpected glimpses into the speculator scene of the half-silly stock marketers and shows us the conflict of a man who first wanted to become a better German and then turned around to become a gangster. You don't have to like him, this Cem Gülay, but you should be grateful to him for this book. Hans Peter Roentgen - literature November 11, 2009

effect

The book drew attention to the dangers of a wrongly proceeding integration policy throughout Germany and resulted in extensive reports, for example in Stern and daily newspapers such as the Hamburger Morgenpost . According to Ulli Rauss, Türken-Sam was the first insider report about a so-called Turkish mafia in Germany and its practices.

The Bild newspaper dedicated a series to Türken-Sam .

At the beginning of November 2009, Mehmet Kurtuluş read from the book for one evening in Hamburg's St. Pauli Theater .
