The Atsız Youth (Turkish: Genç Atsızlar) are a far-right organization based on the ideology of Nihal Atsız that was founded on May 3, 2005, in Bursa, Turkey.

Publications

They have three publications: Genç Atsızlar Magazine, Kömen Magazine and Ötüken Magazine. Genç Atsızlar Magazine, which was published as an electronic magazine in January 2010, ended its publication after its tenth issue. Inspired by Nihal Atsız's poem of the same name, on June 25, 2011, they published another magazine called Kömen. At the end of nineteen issues, Kömen magazine also terminated its publication and left its place to Ötüken Magazine. The first issue of Ötüken Magazine was published on 1 October 2013. They claim that "Young Atsızlar" is the continuation of Nihal Atsız's journal with the same name and published 143 issues. Nihal Atsız's son Yağmur Atsız stated that the magazine was published illegally and that him and his brother Buğra Atsız owned the naming rights of the magazine.[1]

Actions

It was announced that it is forbidden to bring the Flag of Azerbaijan in the Turkey-Armenia football match played in Bursa on October 14, 2009. 4 members of the Atsiz Youth were detained by the police for planning to bring model planes with Azerbaijani flags into the stadium in the middle of the match.[2]

The Atsiz Youth, who participated in 2012 Taksim Square rally, on the anniversary of the Khojaly massacre, chanted and held banners that said "You are all Armenians, you are all bastards", and "bastards of Hrant don't scare us", as well as "Taksim Square today, Yerevan tomorrow, we will attack you suddenly at night". The rally was talked about on the media for days. It was stated that the group planned an attack against the BDP, Agos Newspaper and the French Consulate during the rally and also planned to attack Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu later.[3][4][5]

After the Syrian Armed Forces killed 36 Turkish soldiers in Idlib on February 27, 2020, the Atsiz Youth organized an "Army-Nation March" in various provinces.[6]
