AKUT Search and Rescue Association (Turkish: AKUT Arama Kurtarma Derneği) is a non-governmental and volunteer organization in Turkey, which was established in 1996 by a group of mountaineers. The association has established 27 teams in different regions of Turkey and has participated in more than 1000 search and rescue operations in and out of Turkey.
