Revision as of 02:56, 29 December 2023
The Freedom and Future Association (Turkish: Hürriyet ve İstikbal Derneği) is a Turkish ultranationalist group based in Gebze.
History
The group was founded after the COVID-19 pandemic ended by Alaattin Kürşat Derebaş. Derebaş, in 2023, also became the district governor for his native Gebze District as a member of the Victory Party. At only 19 years old, he became the youngest person in all of Kocaeli to be a district governor.[1]
The group is known to march in public, regardless of the weather, anytime Turkish soldiers are killed.[2][3] The group also uses various slogans such as 'martyrs never die, the homeland never divides', 'heroes give their lives to let the nation live', and 'how happy is the one who says I am a Turk'. Its leader, Alaattin Derebaş, is known for his very emotional and passionate speeches which he usually makes loudly after the group's rallies. Derebaş advises every Turk to "be a nationalist" and threatened the Turks who are not nationalists by saying they "will be the first to be tried". He also referred to Abdullah Öcalan as a "baby killer". The group is strongly against communism.[4] Derebaş also stated that the group will not meet with any organisation that is Anti-Turkish, or critical of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk or the Republic of Turkey.[5]
The group, in a collaboration with the Turkists of Izmit (İzmitli Türkçüler), a very similar organisation led by Recep Mert that uses the same flag, made a statement against refugees in 2023. Alaattin Kürşat Derebaş was present, in which he compared the Arab immigrants and refugees in Turkey to invaders. He stated that Turkey "is not a holiday resort" and that "the Turkists will continue their war for this homeland with the same spirit and consciousness, just as they fought in China a thousand years ago, and just as they fought in Çanakkale 100 years ago". He says that the independence of the Republic of Turkey, founded by Ataturk in 1923, would be protected at all costs. He also voiced his opposition to Pan-Islamism and stated that Turks should be concerned with Kirkuk and East Turkestan instead of other Muslim affairs.[6][7]
