istanbul - Turks are currently doing everything to get out of military service. The government decided at the end of July to make it possible for a certain group to buy it off. The amendment to the law that came into effect on 3 August gives men born before 1 January 1994 the opportunity to stay out of the army against payment of 15,000 lira (more than 2,500 euros). However, they must follow a basic training of three weeks.

According to the state press agency Anadolu, 200,000 applicants have already come forward to use this scheme in the past few days. For financing they are willing to sell everything from houses and cars to cattle. A man from the Anatolian province of Çorum offered on the internet the six year old Çan for 3300 euros. 'It is my favorite camel, but I need cash to deal with that conscription matter. ''

Normally speaking, all healthy Turkish men from the age of eighteen must 'stand up for their numbers' to go through life for at least twelve months. There is no substitute social service obligation. Postponement due to study is possible.
