I personally know of 2 cases.

1. Cypriot mother, Greek father. Did NOT do army.
2. Swedish mother, Cypriot father. DID army. (The parents put up a hell of a fight at the Ministry of Defense. The Swedish embassy got involved, when the dust settled, the kid had to go. case closed.)

That was the old rule, and the idea behind it was that the lad would do military service in his father's country, e.g., for case (1.): Greek army.

Dunno Kuru, this was 15 years ago.
You might have a point though.
We had Greek nationals of Cypriot extract who served their national service in Cyprus. ( albeit reduced)

Yes, but I reckon most countries don't have compulsory military service these days...

I have not served in the CNG...

Paphitis, is your father Greek?

Cypriot mate!

I remember I always had to have an exit permit up to the age of 21! After that, never had an issue for some reason!
