Çevrelemiler

Çevrelemiler, also known as "encirclers" or "ringers," are a group of individuals who have been accused of orchestrating a series of coordinated attacks on various targets in Turkey. The term "çevrelemek" translates to "to encircle" or "to surround," reflecting the alleged strategy employed by the group. The attacks have primarily targeted government officials, journalists, and other prominent figures, often resulting in physical harm or death. The group's name is believed to be derived from the Turkish word "çevre," which means "circle" or "surround."

The origins of çevrelemiler are not well-documented, and their exact membership and leadership remain unclear. However, they have been linked to various far-right and nationalist groups, as well as to individuals with ties to organized crime. The group's activities have been attributed to a desire for political or personal revenge, as well as to a broader agenda of promoting nationalist or extremist ideologies.

The çevrelemiler have been the subject of numerous investigations and legal proceedings in Turkey. However, due to the complex nature of the cases and the involvement of high-profile individuals, progress has been slow, and many of the accused have yet to be brought to justice. The group's activities have also raised concerns about the safety and security of journalists and other members of the public in Turkey.

In recent years, the çevrelemiler have been linked to a series of high-profile attacks on journalists, including the murder of Can Dündar, a prominent investigative journalist, in 2017. The group's activities have also been associated with a broader pattern of violence and intimidation targeting political opponents and critics of the Turkish government. Despite the ongoing investigations, the çevrelemiler continue to operate, and their activities remain a significant concern for the Turkish government and its citizens.
