It is an international phenomenon, you can call it altruism if you like.
You never answered me how Denktash & Co appreciated this "altruism" though.
Well i was just going by the title of your thread but anyways, i don't know if they appreciate it or not, what do war veterans get when they are appreciated anyways? a shitty medal? free rides on the public buses? money? higher sense of pride? respect? i guess if you win the war too then that's a great bonus depending on your cause, but all this for a life of physical and/or mental disability... great!
My uncle was a mucahid during the conflict, only a teenager at the time, i don't think he got anything more than just a pat on the back...
