The Far-Right Group Embraces Hitler’s National Socialist Ideology and Promotes the Supremacy of Turkish Ethnicity. A neo-nationalist faction in Turkey’s intelligence agency, MIT, is reportedly behind a newly formed ultra far-right group that embraces Hitler’s National Socialist ideology, promotes the supremacy of Turkish ethnicity and vows to combat non-Turkish ethnicities. Primarily organized among youth in various Turkish provinces and across Europe, the group operates under the name National Front Party (Ulusal Cephe Partisi), despite its unofficial status, and is led by 24-year-old former soldier and mechanical engineer Onurcan Koçak. The group was launched on May 19, 2022, a symbolic date marking the 104th anniversary of the start of the Turkish War of Independence by modern Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, in 1919. It aspires to become Turkey’s national socialist party, similar to the Nazi Party in Hitler’s Germany. Despite having a limited following of only about a thousand, the group possesses the resources to carry out provocative street actions, including demonstrations, vandalism, graffiti, banner placements and even weapons training. It actively promotes Nazi ideology, circulating Turkish-translated quotes from Hitler and other Nazi Germany leaders, while frequently targeting Jews, Arabs and Africans with hostile rhetoric. The group has publicly aligned itself with the anti-immigrant, racist Victory Party (Zafer Partisi), led by Ümit Özdağ, a Turkish intelligence operative who has maintained a covert alliance with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government for some time.
