BBP leader Destici: We are all Merih, we are all wolves.

BBP Chairman Mustafa Destici stated that the statement made by the German Interior Minister and the investigation initiated by UEFA regarding the goal celebration in which national football player Merih Demiral made the wolf sign is purposeful and malicious.

UEFA INVESTIGATION AGAINST MERIH DEMIRAL

The reactions continue to UEFA's investigation into Merih Demiral, who celebrated by making the wolf sign after the national football team defeated Austria 2-1 and advanced to the quarter-finals in the European Football Championship. The latest statement came from BBP Chairman Mustafa Destici.

"THEIR REAL PROBLEM IS OUR TURKISH IDENTITY AND ISLAMIC BELIEF"

In his written statement, Destici criticized UEFA's disciplinary investigation against national football player Merih Demiral following the football match played yesterday within the scope of the 2024 European Football Championship. Destici stated that the "wolf" sign has been a symbol of Turks since Ergenekon, and it would be wrong to attribute other meanings to it. He evaluated, "Those who target Merih Demiral, our National Team, and our nation should know that we are Turkish, we are Muslim, and we will become champions, God willing. We are all Merih, we are all wolves. Their real problem is our Turkish identity, Islamic belief, and the success of our National Team."

"PURPOSEFUL AND MALICIOUS"

Mustafa Destici stated that he found UEFA's investigation into Merih Demiral and the statement made by the German Interior Minister regarding the issue to be ignorant, purposeful, and malicious.
