NSU Motorenwerke

A German-Turkish lawyer, who represented families of the Turkish victims killed by the NSU, a neo-Nazi terror group, was awarded the "Ludwig Beck Award for Civil Courage" on July 2.

Seda Başay-Yıldız, a prominent lawyer at Frankfurt Bar Association, received the award from the mayor of Wiesbaden, the state capital of Hesse, Germany.

Mehmet Kubaşık was remembered here on April 4, 14 years after he was killed by a neo-Nazi terror group.

A small group left flowers at a memorial in Mallinckrodt, where he used to run a small bookstore.

Chief Consul of Essen, Şener Cebeci, said a small group participated in the event although there are measures to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

The neo-Nazi killing spree by the NSU is "a very dark stain" in Germany's history, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on July 20, and promised to continue efforts to uncover facts about these murders.

A key figure of the neo-Nazi group National Socialist Underground's (NSU) killing spree was released from prison on July 18, after serving six years and eight months.

Turkey has called for justice for the victims of the National Socialist Underground (NSU) ahead of a verdict in a major trial that revealed "institutional racism" in Germany.

German prosecutors on Sept. 12 demanded life imprisonment for the main suspect of a neo-Nazi cell, which murdered eight Turkish immigrants, one Greek citizen and a German policewoman between 2000 and 2007.

It is not hard to find Turkish diplomats who use extremely critical rhetoric for the "German deep state." According to them, this "deep state" does not want Turkey to be a member of the European Union and wants the full assimilation of Turks living in Germany. For those who do not want to assimilate, it uses tactics to discourage them from staying in Germany.

The main defendant in a German neo-Nazi terrorism and murder trial denied Dec. 9 she was involved in a killing spree targeting migrants that claimed 10 lives and apologised to the bereaved families.
