"Grey Wolves" - Turkish right-wing extremism in Germany / Lecture and discussion with Prof. Dr. Kemal Bozay
Right-wing extremism, racism, nationalism and anti-Semitism are very widespread and well-known phenomena in Germany as a country of immigration. Such inhumane, unequal and anti-democratic attitudes are not only found among people in the host society, but are also widespread in immigrant milieus. The Turkish Grey Wolves are an extreme right-wing movement that is ideologically and historically based on anti-Semitism, racism and hatred of minorities.
The lecture deals with the causes and forms of right-wing extremism and ultra-nationalism in milieus of Turkish origin. It will also look at ways in which civil society can take action.
