In the petition, “The sign of the gray wolf is a historical symbol accepted as the ‘symbol of Turkishness’ for millions of people belonging to the great Turkish nation. The sign of the gray wolf is made by all Turks in the world. With the action that is the subject of a suspicious complaint, the gray wolf sign, which is accepted as the symbol of Turkishness, is insulting to the people by insulting it as ‘immorality’. He committed the crime of incitement to hatred and hostility and humiliation. Because insulting the gray wolf sign is equivalent to insulting the Turkish nation and the Turkish race. Therefore, I demand that the suspect be punished for the crime that matches his action.” it was said.
