hamburg - During the speech by Mevlüt Cavusoglu Tuesday in Hamburg, several attendees and the Turkish foreign minister himself put the 'Wolves greeting. That is the gesture recognition of the Turkish nationalists and in Germany cause for concern.

'It's usually a clear sign of nationalist unity and a criterion for inclusion in the Ülkücü movement, which is monitored by Homeland Security,' said the Hamburg branch of the service Thursday. 'Whether making that sign can be considered membership of nationalist groups, is not certain, but it is a questionable reference. '

Because their ideas are inconsistent with the liberal-democratic polity, the German authorities pursue long walks persons who belong to the 'Grey Wolves' or 'idealists' (Ülkücüler). In Turkey they are in the West politically represented by the right-wing nationalist MHP, which is known as an extreme right-wing or fascist party. In the Netherlands the AIVD monitors sympathizers.
