Recently, Turkish fascists, organized under the names of Ülkücüler (Idealists) or Grey Wolves, started to jeopardize the security of European countries.

The French government decided to ban Idealists, the paramilitary wing of the AKP-MHP government and involved in many violent incidents, after Idealists carried out lynch attacks against Armenians in Dijon, on October 29, 2020.

On November 18, a draft law which would pave the way for the banning of the Idealist movement, submitted by the Christian Union parties (CDU / CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which form the government in Germany, as well as the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP), was approved by the Federal Assembly.

Despite these measures taken by European countries, Turkish fascists have recently sent many threatening letters to Armenians living in Germany.

According to the daily Die Welt newspaper in Germany, Armenians living in the cities of Hanau, Osnabrück and Hamburg have received death threat letters most.

It is reported that there has been a serious increase in the number of these letters, especially after the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Karabakh region.

THREATS FROM SAME NUMBERS

Interviewed by Die Welt, Armenian lawyer Ilias Uyar said that Armenians living in Cologne and Berlin were also threatened with death by calls made from the same phone numbers.

Following the increase in threat letters, Serovpe Isakhanyan, Bishop of the Armenian Church of Germany, wrote a letter addressed to the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, and expressed the concerns of the Armenians living in the country.

Isakhanyan called attention to the campaigns launched by extremist Turkish racists who used the conflicts in Karabakh as a pretext.

European countries, which have been silent to the pro-AKP-MHP Turkish nationalists and racists for years, finally took action to ban these groups the last month.

In Germany, one of the countries where Turkish nationalists are most organized, the public is now wondering about the attitude of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Merkel government after the bill passed in the Federal Assembly to ban the activities associated with the Idealist Movement.
