Just a question out of curiosity...Do minorities in Northern Cyprus (such as maronites) have to do military service in NC? I was reading on another forum that they are exempt.

TRNC citizens from such groups are exempt in the same way TC who live in the RoC are. In the RoC a law was passed in 2008 allowing for members of marionite and armenian cypriot communities to do national service, but I am not sure the law is used. However forigners taking up citizenship in TRNC are liable for national service unless they can show they have already done it in another countrry prior to taking TRNC citizenship.



What other foprum were you reading this on and if you are a member there would you care to say your user name there ?

Thanks for the info erolz. I was reading it on cyprus-forum.com and I'm not a member there.
