Turan eV

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turan eV is the name of a rocker-like group that probably originated in Germany in 2015. The grouping has its origin in the Netherlands. In Germany, their focus is in North Rhine-Westphalia , but the club or clubs are also active elsewhere. In 2016, the Federal Government did not have any information on the number of members. As a self-designation, the group declares: “The TURAN family is a community organization where all Turan peoples can unite, get to know and meet.” The battle cry of the group is “Hedef Turan”, in English “The goal is Turan”. Three intertwined crescents serve as a symbol of the movement; it is similar to that of the Turkish party MHP . The group is being watched by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution .

activities

According to the Federal Government's findings, the Turan eV organization was founded in April 2015 in the vicinity of the Gray Wolves in Duisburg and is based on the so-called Ülkücü ideology. There seem to be further connections to the Ottomans Germania .

On July 10, 2015, the association organized a rally in front of the Chinese Consulate General in Düsseldorf to denounce the oppression of their "Turkish brotherly people", the Uyghurs, by China.

Turan eV registered a demonstration on March 26, 2016 in Duisburg. Around 400 people took part in this demonstration under the motto "We support the fight against terrorism by the Turkish security authorities".

At the beginning of 2018, the Kurdish football player Deniz Naki was threatened from the ranks of the club after he made public statements in support of the Kurds' right to self-determination in Turkey .
