Reply to comment by ZrvaDetector in Former leader of Grey Wolves fatally shot in Ankara - Turkish Minute by LouisBalfour82

Gladio organizations such as Grey Wolves popped in virtually all NATO countries under threat of Soviet influence during the Cold War, not just Turkey.

However it was Turkey's decision not to disband them once the Cold War ended and use them against the Kurdish insurgency. Grey Wolves haven't been under NATO/CIA influence for more than 30 years now. It has become its own thing and rebranded itself as the youth wing of MHP (ultranationalists) to legitimize its existence. Claiming NATO has anything to do with Grey Wolves as it exists today is completely baseless.

Nope, NATO has nothing to do with Grey Wolves of today, the thing is shortly after the Cold War they stopped being a militant organisation. Grey Wolves without NATO backing is just another far right political organisation without any hardpower behind it.
