He's an ethnic Azeri (i.e. Azerbaijani Turkoman) from eastern Turkey's Iğdır province, a his torically Azerbaijani territory that belonged to the
Erivan Khanate before Russia invaded it. After the Turkish forces liberated Iğdır (then known as Surmalu Uyezd of Russia) from the Russian occupation, Turkey annexed it and expelled its pro-Russia Armenian minority population to Armenia, and brought Sunni Kurdish settlers from nearby provinces to balance out its Shia Azeri population. Today, Iğdır's population is roughly 50% Kurdish, 50% Azeri. He must've had many Kurdish friends and schoolmates, growing up in Iğdır.

The flag and the tugh banners of the Kök Türk Khaganate contain wolf head figures. Don't reduce it to the symbol of a modern, fringe ideology.
