Turkey: Whether the family identity page that is filled in at the Turkish Birth Registry Office contains a section entitled "Events of Individuals"; if so, whether in cases where a member of that family was a military evader, an entry to this effect would be made in the "Events of Individuals" section, including the wording of the entry
In a 5 May 2004 telephone interview, the First Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey, in Ottawa, indicated that the family identity page that is filled in at the Turkish Birth Registry Office does contain a section entitled "Events of Individuals." In cases where family members have evaded military service, an entry to that effect would indeed be made in the aforementioned "Events of Individuals" section (Embassy of the Republic of Turkey 5 May 2004). Since it is possible for there to be more than one English translation of the same Turkish phrase, the First Secretary indicated that he could not provide the exact English wording of the entry (ibid.). He did, however, say that the entry would be worded in a manner bearing the following effect/meaning: "the person (named) is being sought by the gendarmes or by the police" (ibid.).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection.
