Fırat Yılmaz Çakıroğlu (1 January 1991 – 20 February 2015) was a 24-year-old Turkish nationalist student from Akşehir, Konya.
He was murdered after an argument he had with left-wing (according to some reports supporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)) students in Ege University on 20 February 2015.
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Çakıroğlu was the leader of the youth branch of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) at the Ege University.
The argument quickly turned into a fight and eight people from both sides were injured in the incident, three of them needing hospitalisation, including Çakıroğlu.
