About the Project

Written under the signature of RasihPERSON, one of the war disabledSOCIETY: “The promotion lawDOCUMENT of the Disabled VeteransSOCIETY passed the parliamentSTATE on February 8 and was published in the official gazetteDOCUMENT dated February 22. Although the law is valid from its publication date, its implementation has not yet started in IzmirLOCATION in any way. Although indeed many procedures are necessary for the payment of the promotion allowances added to salaries, I believe there is no obstacle in implementing the other articles of the law. The delay in implementing this law, which provides many benefits to the war disabledSOCIETY—most notably the issue of travelling at half price like active soldiersSOCIETY on transport vehicles—causes the grievance of the disabled. Furthermore, while national institutions such as DarülbedayiSTATE and cinemas are open to the disabled at half price in all Western countriesLOCATION, no one has thought of such courtesy here. The poor disabled who lost a limb on the battlefronts for the defense of the homeland and are deprived of all kinds of joy and happiness should at least be allowed to benefit from theaters and cinemas in proportion to the permission shown to officers and soldiersSOCIETY. Undoubtedly, it is also their right to have fun. In fact, they have earned it more than anyone else. But how much joy can they add to their already poisoned lives with the meager salaries they receive? I request you to draw the attention of those concerned to these matters.”
