Ezdemir has long been a critic of the Turkish aggressive policy and President Erdogan. As a result, on the margins of the Munich conference, police were forced to attach to him additional bodyguards because of the threat of his life.

At the same time, representatives of the forum from Turkey complained to the police that an anti-Turkish terrorist is living with them in the same hotel, under which they obviously meant Ezdemir. The deputy, even in his youth, for his anti-Turkish views and harsh criticism of the trade unions of the Turkish workers began to receive threats from not only Turkish nationalists, but also the Workers' Party of Kurdistan (PKK) banned in Turkey and Germany,.

As reported in "Ura-Inform", previously Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on the margins of the Munich conference said that the US continues to support local terrorism.
