The thing that bugs me is that I know you can extend your military obligations up to the age of 49, what I'm not sure about is, what exactly happens after that age. Kik. I don't think you are in AWOL status. Below is the number to ASAL sube in Nicosia, phone them with your details and ask yourself.

Umit07,
Thanks for the information my friend, but I and numerous other family members in the UK and Turkey have called ASAL SUBE and have been asking the same question for the last 2 years, and we have never gotten any consistent answers. It all depends who is answering the telephone. Sorry to sound like an asshole, but the information that comes out of the Asal Sube has always been inconsistent. As VP has said very correctly. In the "TRNC" is all about who you know, that seems to make the difference.
At last account, anyone over the age of 49, had to pay either:
1. £3,000 and no military.
2. £1,500 and 1 month military..can be split 2 weeks X 2.. within a certain time.
3. 3 month military and no payment.
This did not matter if one stayed one day in the "TRNC" or resided there. After the age of 49, one could not escape the above 3 conditions. That's what it was until now, so what I want to know now is with the new proposal is, what has changed for the
"old guys" like me, Birkibrisli, and Zan.
Good thing that the "TRNC" do not charge by the looks, or else Zan would go broke.
