Turkey to Resume Mass Prayers, Demobilize 66,000 Soldiers - Bianet English
Easing the measures for the Covid-19 pandemic, Turkey will resume mass Friday prayers and recruitment of soldiers for compulsory military service, the authorities have stated.
Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar said that the demobilization of soldiers would begin on Sunday (May 31) after a one-month postponement. In April, the ministry postponed the recruitment of 53,000 soldiers and demobilization of 66,000 to prevent Covid-19 from spreading in military facilities.
Akar’s announcement came after a teleconference meeting with commanders-in-chief of the armed forces and his deputies. He also said that new soldiers would be tested three or four days before their recruitment.
