    the sentence has local elements of speaking. the standard form is

    feleğin çarkını bozanlardanız

    which literally means

    we are from those who break down the wheel of fortune

    a pompous expression, as it seems.

    here the wheel of fortune isn't the tv game show, popular around the world, but the rota fortuna. it figuratively means any established order, be it governmental, societal, organizational or institutional, that's considered by the speaker almost always against him/her. hence, it means "we disrupt the established order that is against us."

    these two lines are from a cem karaca song:

    ben feleğin şu çarkına çomak sokarım
    ben feleğin tekerine çomak sokarım

    Ok thank you!
    Do you think it could be something to do with the 'fights' between turkish people and kurdish people? I think it has something to do with that..

    the sentence can be used by anyone or any group of dissidents against any established order which they disfavor; so no group can claim the exclusive ownership of it.

    for example, anatolian football teams and their supporters may speak out the same sentence against the football federation with the accusation that it always decides in favor of the istanbul teams.
