معنی
A person who survived a major disaster.
زمینه فرهنگی
The term is deeply linked to the 'Muhacir' (refugee) identity of those who fled the Balkans. For the Armenian community in Turkey, this term refers to the 'hidden Armenians' or survivors of 1915. In Ottoman law, being a 'kılıç artığı' sometimes granted certain protections or 'aman' (mercy). Using this term today can be seen as a hate crime or a slur if used to question someone's citizenship.
Sensitivity
Be very careful using this in political discussions in Turkey; it can be perceived as an insult to minority groups.
Literature
If you see this in a Yaşar Kemal novel, it's a sign of a character with a deep, tragic backstory.
