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.
