The organisation’s assessment
In a post on the events in Sivas, Çorum and Maraş, Türk Alevi Ocakları expressed the view that historical responsibility cannot be established solely through hand gestures or symbols. The statement argues for examining the events’ social and political context through documents and concrete evidence.
The organisation states that a Grey Wolf gesture or victory sign alone does not establish a person’s identity, organisational ties or role in acts of violence. It calls for this distinction to be respected when interpreting photographs and footage.
