The movement known as 'Ülkc' or 'grey wolves' are linked to political allies of Erdogan, the ultra-nationalist MHP in Turkey.A Dutch fan march of 19,000, took place without incidents, but police said fans from both camps, briefly clashed at the Berlin fan fest. The groups were separated whereupon the situation calmed down immediately.Source: Ghana New s Agency
