The Turkish ultra-nationalist Grey Wolves organisation, responsible for many massacres of Alevis and Kurds, threatened Israeli athletes participating in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics in a newly published video.
The Grey Wolves were once backed by the CIA and are connected to the deep state in Turkey and the Turkish mafia. The Grey Wolves killed 100 people from the Alevi religious minority in Maraş in 1978, played a key role in the suppression and massacre of Kurds in the 1980s, fought in Nagorno-Karabakh and Chechnya in the 1990’s, and are hostile to all non-Sunni Turkish elements in Turkey, including Greeks, Armenians Kurds, Alevis, and Jews.
The organisation believes in Pan-Turkism and seeks to unite the Turkic(-speaking) peoples in one state stretching from the Balkans to Central Asia.
In 2005, they protested outside the Eastern Christian Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in Fener (Phanar), Istanbul, chanting “Patriarch Leave” and “Patriarchate to Greece”.
In June 2015, during a visit to the medieval Armenian city of Ani in Kars Province by the Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan, the local leader of the Grey Wolves suggested that his followers should “go on an Armenian hunt.”
Meanwhile, only days ago, Azerbaijani soldiers were seen making the hand salutation of the Grey Wolves in the occupied Armenian city of Stepanakert.
France, Austria, Kazakhstan and several other countries have outlawed the Grey Wolves, whilst in Turkey, their political wing, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), are in coalition with Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party.
