Merhaba Asker

"Walking around the suspicious military deaths, which constitute an important and urgent agenda item of Turkey, especially in the last twenty-thirty years, each writer deals with the subject with an attitude and approach appropriate to his own writing style. This book contains sixteen stories written specifically for this book.

"Unfortunately, Turkey ranks first in the world in suspicious soldier deaths and soldier suicides.

"Doesn't the fact that how many battalions and how many companies of soldiers may have lost their lives 'as a result of suicide and suspicious death' in thirty years, according to the military classification, require the story behind each of them to be re-told? Because talking about this means, in fact, Turkey's "... and with this selection of stories, literature is a mark of respect to the memory of all those young dead who were openly and secretly victims of the institution of compulsory military service, militarism, and the dirty war, and whom the Turkish Armed Forces saw as 'military casualties'." We wanted to plant a modest tombstone on the ground and leave a bunch of flowers on their graves."
