About Maraş Massacre (Maraş Katliamı)
The Maraş massacre was the massacre of more than one hundred Alevi civilians in the city of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, in December 1978, by the neo-fascist Grey Wolves and conservative Sunnis. The tensions were initially ignited by a noise bomb thrown into a movie theater frequented by extreme Turkish nationalists.
