I might be wrong but in my book a hero is anyone that performs noble actions for his country.
That is quite different if not the exact opposite of a nationalist and a racsist.
Wasn't it Atsiz that promoted pan-Turkism and defined the supporters as:
"A Turk who believes in the superiority of Turk race, respecting its
national past and ready to sacrifice himself for the ideals of Turkdom,
especially in the fight against Moscow, the implacable enemy."
Wasn't it Atsiz that left in his written will the following statement towards his son?:
"The Jews, … the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the Greeks
are our historical enemies; the Bulgarians, the Germans, the Italians,
the English, the French, … the Arabs, the Romanians are our new
enemies; the Japanese, the Afghans, and the Americans are our future
enemies; the Armenians, the Kurdish, the Circassians … are our
internal enemies (Güvenç, 1993: 363)."
Which means literally half the world..
Sorry to disagree with you, but nationalism and racsism aren't
the 'virtues' that deem you worthy of the title hero, well at least not
in my book they aren't..
It would be similar to me naming the dictator Papadopoulos a hero
