Do Relatives of AKP Members Perform Compulsory Military Service?

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Şırnak deputy Aycan İrmez asked a parliamentary question to Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu about relatives of Justice and Development Party (AKP):

“AKP ended resolution process”

“Interim AKP Government ended resolution process.

“Even though Turkey’s people want peace, AKP executes war policies. As a result of this, funeral ceremonies are held in every part of Turkey.

“Armed conflict isn’t a solution”

“Ongoing for decades, armed conflicts don’t give results and insolubility is becoming permanent.

“Children and relatives of Government members who execute war policies are exempt from military service by paying or being malingerers while poor and laborer people’s children lose their lives during compulsory military service.

Questions to Davutoğlu:

* How many of AKP members and ministers’ relatives and children have had the certificate of disability for discharge since 2002? Who are those relatives and children?

* How many of AKP members and ministers’ relatives and children have taken advantage of paid military service since 2002? Who are those relatives and children?
