In 2016, the federal government was aware of ten associations being founded in Augsburg , Berlin , Düsseldorf , Tegernsee , Dachau , Stuttgart , Frankfurt am Main , Hamburg and Bremen . At that time, the federal government did not have any information on the number of members. Three intertwined crescents served as a symbol of the movement, it resembled that of the Turkish party MHP and that of the Turan eV association. The group was observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution .

The motorcycle rocker club was established in 2008 primarily as a non-political motorcycle club. The name is derived from the Greek word "Toúrkos". After a few years, the club was operating in the area of ​​the gray wolves and the so-called Ülkücü movement. In addition, there had been contacts with the Ottoman Germania BC at least since 2016 . According to the Bavarian state government , a fraternization was announced at a meeting at that time.

On October 19, 2014, Turkos MC organized a demonstration in Munich to demonstrate together with several hundred participants against arms deliveries to Kurds .

In 2016, the association mobilized together with the Gray Wolves nationwide for anti-Kurdish demonstrations under the motto “Peace March for Turkey and the EU”.
