description It is seen that the concept of martyr and veteran has an extremely important place in Turkish history from the past to the present. In accordance with the principle of being a social state of the Republic of Turkey, various social policies have been developed to enable the relatives of the martyrs as a result of various terrorist incidents and wars or the veterans who became disabled as a result of these events and their relatives to continue their lives as a result of the trauma they experienced. Economics, social, psychology, etc. Social policy practises developed in many areas are thought to have an extremely important place, as they improve the quality of life of the relatives of martyrs, veterans and veterans, who are already among the disadvantaged groups, while increasing the social solidarity. In this study, the social policies implemented, the level of competence perceived by the relatives of martyrs, veterans and veterans, and solution suggestions for eliminating the existing deficiencies are included. In the literature review, very few studies were found on the social policies provided. 20 relatives of martyrs, veterans and veterans residing in Sakarya were interviewed with a semi-structured interview technique, and as a result of the research, it was concluded that the social policies provided by the state were at a sufficient level, but that they were developed further in economic terms and adapted to today’s conditions. In addition, it has been determined that the education level of the children of martyrs and veterans is generally low, and this situation affects their social and psychological lives.
