Report on Attacks Targeting the Turkish Presence Abroad in 2022
Since 2018, our Presidency has been sharing with the public through annual reports the racist and Islamophobic attacks that have directly or indirectly targeted Turkish citizens abroad and civil society organizations and mosques founded by our citizens.
In this context, Report on Attacks Targeting the Turkish Presence Abroad in 2022 was published in 4 languages: Turkish, English, German, and French.
In reports prepared by verifying open sources and cases directly conveyed to our Presidency, a total of 1,132 attacks were recorded in the last 4 years; 174 in 2018, 253 in 2019, 389 in 2020 and 316 in 2021. In 2022, a total of 274 cases were recorded, 133 of which were attacks directly targeting our citizens. The far-right, which has both racist and anti-Islam motivations, was the primary source of attacks against Turkish citizens.
In 2022;
- A total of 77 cases in Germany, 51 of which were directly targeting our citizens,
- A total of 46 cases in France, 17 of which were directly targeting our citizens,
- A total of 26 cases in the United Kingdom, 3 of which were directly related to our citizens, were recorded
The majority of the cases were observed as hate speech (62 out of 135 cases directly against our citizens) and attacks on individuals (17 out of 54 cases directly against our citizens). While hate speech was the leading cause in previous years, the increase in attacks on individuals is considered alarming.
