Who is Doğan Akhanlı?

[Luca]

So, I just had the misfortune to tune in to german television, which I normally try to avoid.
But the first thing that came in the news was the arrest of Doğan Akhanlı, a German-Turk who wrote a couple of books, specifically about the Armenien genocide.
Now, I did some more digging on him, and he also seems to be a radical leftist (possibly),

because he bought a left-wing paper

I thought maybe you guys could give me a quick run-down of him. How is he seen in turkey? Is his arrest justified? Is he really a communist?

Never heard of him before, he is not that popular in Turkey. Just searched him up, he has been arrested in Turkey for bank robbery and murder claims and shortly after his release he fled to Germany again. He has been wanted by Interpol via Turkey's intercession, that's why he was arrested in Spain.
