Dear Konuk (Guest),

According to the 1st Article of the Military Service Law numbered 1111, every male subject of the Turkish Republic is obliged to do military service.

Military service of the persons having more than one nationality has been regulated in the last paragraph of the second Article of the same Law and that Article authorises the Council of Ministers to regulate that matter.

A decision of the Council of Ministers dated July 5,1993 and numbered 93/4613 pursuant to that Article entered into force by being published on the Official Gazette dated July 5,1993 and numbered 21648.

Let me continue to try to answer your question by trying to translate explanations quoted from http://www.asal.msb.gov.tr/

(NATIONAL DEFENCE MINISTRY, RECRUITMENT DEPARTMENT, OFFICIAL WEB SITE,
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS OF OUR CITIZENS HAVING MORE THAN ONE NATIONALITY)

QUESTION:
Whether military service which fulfilled in countries other than ones specified by the Council of Ministers deemed valid or not in Turkey?


According to this decision (numbered 93/4613) which ones of the persons having more than one nationality under military service obligation and in which countries of their services have been considered valid in Turkey will be regulated by the Ministry of Defence. And according to this; military services fulfilled in Austria, Syria, Norway,Greece and Tunisia are deemed valid in Turkey. In addition to that;

a)Since compulsory service has been revoked in Netherland, this country has been taken out of the list beginning from the date of January 1,1997.

b)Since compulsory service has been revoked in Belgium, this country has been taken out of the list beginning from the date of January 1,1998.

c)Since obligations of military service of the persons born after December 31,1978 have been suspended beginning from the date of January 1,1999 in France, applications of the persons born after that date will not be accepted.

d)Since compulsory military service has been revoked beginning from the persons born in 1985 in Italy, this country has been crossed off beginning from the date of January 1,2005. Applications of the persons younger than ones born in 1985 (included) will not be accepted.

e)Since compulsory service has been revoked in Sweden, this country has been taken out of the list on the date of July 1,2010.

f)Since compulsory service has been revoked in Germany, this country has been taken out off the list on the date of July 1,2011.

Military services fulfilled before revoked in the countries mentioned in the (a-f) articles above, will be deemed valid (performed) in Turkey.

Military services fulfilled in any other country other than those countries, can not be deemed valid in the Republic of Turkey.


I think you can evaluate your son's situation yourself.

Best regards.
