Irritation in Ankara was caused by the “bell” of two matches that UEFA officially imposed on the Turkish footballer Merich Demiral for the nationalistic gesture of the Gray Wolves he made in the match against Austria in the Euro.
The defender made the Gray Wolves salute after the goal he scored in the round of 16 against Austria (2-1), causing a storm of reactions.
The Gray Wolves are a Turkish extremist movement, which has been monitored for years by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Germany.
The announcement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry
“Regarding UEFA’s decision on Turkish footballer Merih Demiral
We regret that UEFA banned our national football player Merih Demiral for two matches.
International sporting events are organized to bring societies and countries closer together.
This decision has deeply disappointed our citizens both at home and abroad and reinforced the perception that the trend of prejudice against foreigners is increasing in some European countries.”
