70,000 турецких призывников будут демобилизованы с изменениями в законодательстве.

Более 70,000 солдат-срочников турецкой армии были демобилизованы 1 января, после принятых изменений в законе о воинской повинности, что  сократило срок службы в армии от двенадцати до пятнадцати месяцев. Турция имеет самую большую призывную армию в НАТО и военная служба традиционно рассматривается как важный элемент национального единства.

Все молодые люди по закону должны отслужить в армии, хотя те, у кого есть высшее образование, как правило служат только шесть месяцев. Это остается неизменным.

Такой шаг, направленный по сокращение срока военной службы пользуется большой популярностью среди молодых людей, а также членов их семей.

Количество призывников значительно увеличивалось из года в год в связи с ростом турецкого населения. Такой шаг, следовательно, не сможет оказать воздействие на военную мощь Турции.

Есть и те, кто поддерживает переход от призывной армии к профессиональной, но многие видят в призывной системе в стране, которая все больше и больше разделена по политическим, социальным и этническим группам, средство с помощью которого молодежь впитывает патриотизм и национальные ценности. Поэтому маловероятно, что призыв на военную службу скоро будет отменен, независимо от военной целесообразности.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
