dbo:abstract
  • Wind Unit (Turkish: Rüzgâr Birliği, Azerbaijani: Rüzgar birliyi) or Wind Group (Turkish: Rüzgâr Grubu, Azerbaijani: Rüzgar qrupu) was a volunteer infantry battalion composed of Turkish nationalists. Established in 1992, by Alparslan Türkeş, the founder of the Nationalist Movement Party and the Grey Wolves, its goal was to spread the idea of Turanism in all of the Turkic countries that gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union. About 500 members of Wind Unit, who were mostly former special forces servicemen of Turkey, went to Azerbaijan after the Khojaly massacre in 1992, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, to train the Azerbaijani forces, though they also limitedly contributed to the Azerbaijani war effort. Despite this, they were removed from Azerbaijan in 1993, and the battalion was disbanded a year later after pressure from the Turkish government. (en)
