That's almost 1 in 10 people. That's a pretty significant chunk of the population my dude.

grey wolves are part of the mhp(nationalistic party) even then not every mhp voter supports them. my grandmother voted for them because they improved living condonditions of retired people at some point. she is not even a nationalist person. so i was being generous when i commented that number.

>And to add, unlike Nazis, Turanists are not necessarily shunned

also i would like to add that unlike nazis grey wolfes' actions are supported and funded by the west (especially by u.s) during cold war because they were the main opposition against the growing leftist movements in turkey. they assassinated many leftist leaders of different movements and escaped to usa when they were prosecuted. and guess what? they were never forced return by the governtments of the usa at the time.

you guys are part of the problem too but anyways, keep downvoting me and circle jerk "turkey bad, they support nazis"

That's like 6.8 million people. It's a pretty big portion.
