After the graduation ceremony of the Army Academy held on August 30, 2024, five lieutenants who drew their swords and shouted "We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal" and were expelled from the Turkish Armed Forces stated that their actions were not a disciplinary offense and requested the annulment of the executive order and demanded to return to the TSK. Lieutenants Ebru Eroğlu, İzzet Talip Akarsu, Serhat Gündar, Deniz Demirtaş, and Batuhan Gazi Kılıç had the amount of compensation they needed to pay calculated since they completed their compulsory service obligations if they could not win their cases.
500 THOUSAND LIRA COMPENSATION FOR LIEUTENANTS
Journalist Müyesser Yıldız announced that in the calculations, the teaching, training, and development expenses, as well as course fees and allowances, were totaled, resulting in a compensation amount of 450-500 thousand lira for each lieutenant. Yıldız pointed out that the dollar exchange rate was taken as 26 lira for 2023 and 36 lira for 2024 in the calculations for the shooting and parachute courses of the lieutenants.
RESPONSE FROM THE LAND FORCES COMMAND
The Land Forces Command responded to the lieutenants who filed a lawsuit for the annulment of the expulsion process and requested the suspension of the payments of compensations: "The Administrative Procedure Law states that 'Filing a lawsuit in the Council of State or Administrative Courts does not suspend the execution of the administrative act being sued.' Therefore, the suspension of the execution of an administrative act is subject to a suspension or annulment decision issued by the competent administrative court. Consequently, the follow-up regarding your open receivable file can only be suspended or terminated as a result of a suspension or annulment decision to be issued by the competent administrative court."
ÖZGÜR ÖZEL SAID "THE DEBT IS OURS"
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel announced at the Parliamentary Group Meeting on February 4 that the CHP Group would cover the possible compensations that both the five lieutenants and the lieutenants expelled from the Tuzla Infantry School would owe to the TSK through deductions from their salaries, stating, "The bread the lieutenant eats and the bullet he fires... The debt is our debt."
WHAT HAPPENED?
During the graduation ceremony of the Army Academy held on August 30, 2024, the lieutenants drew their swords and recited their oath while shouting "We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal" after the official ceremony. The oath repeated by the lieutenants is as follows:
"We swear that in the face of hands that will reach the independence of the secular, democratic Republic of Turkey, the indivisible integrity of the country, the honor and dignity of the great Turkish nation, and every inch of our sacred homeland, we will be found, and our swords will always be sharp and ready. We are the children of the Turkish future. We were born with honor, and we will live with honor. How happy is the one who says I am a Turk!"
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements regarding the issue, saying, "Who are you drawing these swords against? All necessary investigations are being carried out regarding this, and a few ignorant people there will also be cleaned up."
