Mete Yüzbasi: Orhan had a wife, two kids and he had recently bought a car. He never got to see his car you know? They bought it when he was on tour. But he never came back. That is the man I cared the most in life soldier. He couldn't leave anything behind but a widow and two orphans. Oh and a car of course.
