What does Turkish law say about lying to the military for the purpose of avoiding military service?. The Turkish individual in question lived in the UK for 5 years claiming to be studying in the university, however, in the 5 years he lived outside of Turkey, he took only a couple of English as a second language courses and that's it. He neither worked nor did he obtain any diploma, he was just a rich kid who made fun of his fellow Turkish men who served their full period. Is there a stature of limitation for this crime?.
