Abstract

When II. World War began to threat from Balkans, Turkish Republic enrolled Assyrian Aulds as one of the nonmuslim societies in Turkey as an injunctive relief. Applied to non-Muslims in non-Muslim communities in Turkey, only the military in the country Assyrians, Armenians, Greeks and Jews were taken. The population living in non-Muslim attitudes and any receivables during the war, which side not known exactly what will happen to the government went to such an application. In this period, religious men lead the battalions that are formed with their communities, kept them together and dealt with their needs as they did the same during the organization of Assyrian community. Assyrians during their military service as well as other non-Muslims are also given certain privileges. Easily able to do a large part of religious worship in particular is seen as a privilege. These battalions were employed for building roads, bridges and airports. As Assyrian were enrolled in 20 combinations, this incident was called 20 Kur’a Nafia military service. They did their military service in Manisa Akhisar as Injunctive Private. Being Injunctive Soldiers discomforted Assyrian Aulds and they were unwilling to do this kind of work. The units of the Ministry of Public Works, who served four months permissions on the approach of the non-Muslim groups would leave for the winter season. Most of them left the country in order not to be enrolled back as injunctive privates and this is the most important reason why Assyrians migrated from Turkey.
