From http://www.turkishdailynews.com/tdn/past_art/07_05_98/art2.htm :
(May 98)
"Mountaineer Nasuh Mahruki leads rescue of quake victims
Mahruki and members of his emergency Search and Rescue Association (AKUT) rushed to the scene of devastation after a tremblor measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale rumbled through the cities of Ceyhan and Adana, in the Cukurova region in southern Turkey, on June 27, killing at least 128 people and injuring more than 1,500 others
Using special sniffing dogs to locate victims, AKUT rescued a baby and an 11-year-old boy trapped under the rubble of an apartment building in Ceyhan
The Mahruki is better known for his mountaineering feats -- he is the first and only Turk to have scaled Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. The Russian Mountain Climbing Federation gave him the honorific title, 'Snow Leopard,' after he climbed the five highest peaks of the former Soviet Central Asia. Last year, he led an expedition to Nepal, riding on a motorcycle from Istanbul to Katmandu
Turkey's greatest outdoorsman and one of its leading athletes, he has written three books on mountaineering, including 'Everest'te Ilk Turk' (The First Turk on Mount Everest), a picture book published in November 1995, and 'Bir Dagcinin Guncesi,' (The Diary of a Mountain Climber), published this spring."
On http://www.outsidemag.com/magazine/0597/9705mahruki.html an interview can be found in which he reacts to allegations from Greg Child.
