Hulusi Akar

Turkish people in general have not received much attention from the outside world for a variety of strange reasons that are unknown to the average person, but I think it's more because there isn't much excitement and popularity. It's extremely unlikely that Turkey would host a significant event, unlike the United States or other well-known nations. However, this in no way implies that Turkey doesn't occasionally engage in hostilities. And this is where General Hulusi Akar comes into play.

Like the majority of other military generals around the world, he graduated from the Turkish Military Academy as an infantry officer in 1972, around the time that their careers got started. After that, he moved on to become the Branch Chief at various headquarters and units, which came with a lot of responsibility that he was able to successfully manage under his command.

Over the years, he has served as an assistant to the land forces commander, which means he is second in command here leading a battalion in an actual war. He is a brave man who never gave up until he achieved goal after goal and then drove himself to achieve the next, shortly after each success in his military career.
