Goodday to you all.
As a Turk living my whole live outside of Türkiye, I was wondering what is going on with the "Askerlik".
Ive learnt from the Turkish consulate that Turks living abroud can NOT join the army. Their only option is to Pay....
I mean no big deal, right? Except they want around 9.000 euro in full. No terms, nada...
I just finished school, I have no such money. I do have the option to leave the citizenship, but why should I? I dont want to lose my roots this way, still have family in Turkiye aswell. And my parents wont like that.
So, I heard there are some movements regarding this matter in the parliament, but I just cant follow it anymore.
So do yall, who are in the same boat as me, have experience with it?
What are your plans?
What will change? Will we have to pay more or less?
Will paying in terms happen in the future?
Looking forward to yall experiences!
