Maraş massacre

The Maraş massacre (Turkish: Maraş katliamı, Kurdish: Komkujiya Mereşê‎) was the massacre of more than one hundred Alevi Kurds in the city of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, in December 1978, primarily by the neo-fascist Grey Wolves. Martial law was instated after the massacre, but this did not halt a campaign of violence elsewhere including in cities like Çorum and Konya.
