The Maraş massacre (Turkish: Maraş katliamı; Kurdish: Komkujiya Mereşê) was the massacre of more than one hundred leftists and Alevis in the city of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, in December 1978, primarily by the neo-fascist Grey Wolves. Martial law was declared after the massacre, but this did not halt a campaign of violence elsewhere including in cities like Çorum and Konya.
