The golden wolf-headed tugh gifted to Bahçeli becomes a talking point: The meaning of the symbols draws attention

One of the notable moments at the Great Turkish Youth Congress, organized by the Idealist Hearths Education and Culture Foundation, was the gift presented to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli.

During the program, a "golden wolf-headed tugh" was presented to Bahçeli by the Chairman of the Idealist Hearths. The symbols on the ring and pin worn by Bahçeli during the ceremony also drew attention.

WHAT DOES THE "GOLDEN WOLF-HEADED TUGH" REPRESENT?

One of the most discussed topics in the public eye following the congress was the meaning of the "golden wolf-headed tugh."

It is noted that the "tugh," which has been used in Turkish culture since ancient times, was accepted as a symbol of sovereignty and rule in ancient Turkic states.

It is stated that the tugh, used particularly by some ancient Turkic communities such as the Huns and the Göktürks, represents a standard-like symbol.

The wolf figure on the tugh is said to carry meanings in Turkish mythology such as guidance, continuity of lineage, independence, warrior spirit, strength, and protection.

THE NOTABLE EXPRESSION ON THE RING AND PIN

The details on the ring and pin worn by Devlet Bahçeli at the congress also drew attention.

It was observed that the upper part of the ring worn by Bahçeli featured the phrase "We are the bronze-hearted Turks who play with death," taken from Hüseyin Nihal Atsız's poem "The Song of the Turks."

It was noted that the sides of the ring featured turquoise stones, and that the Three Crescents and the Crescent-Star symbols, along with Turkish warrior figures, were embossed on it.
