'Sword-crossing' measures at MSÜ! Ban after ban for lieutenants

At the 2024 graduation ceremony of the Turkish Military Academy, the clash of swords by lieutenants and the chanting of the slogan "We are Mustafa Kemal's soldiers" turned into a crisis, and five lieutenants were expelled from the Turkish Armed Forces.

MSÜ took unprecedented measures to prevent any clashing of swords at this year's ceremony. According to a report by Tarık Işık from Nefes, the measures are as follows:

The number of family members attending the ceremony was limited and it was decided that they would enter the area with a code.

THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER SCHOOL UNTIL AUGUST 30

Graduating lieutenants have a tradition of celebrating among themselves on the night of August 29th. At the celebration on August 29, 2024, lieutenants recited the Officer Oath among themselves. To prevent such a situation from occurring this year, lieutenants will be dismissed from the school after the ceremony rehearsals on August 28th until the official ceremony on August 30th.

IT IS PROHIBITED TO GO TO THE FIELD

As in previous years, after the official portion of the ceremonies concluded, graduates returned to the field, and that's when the "oath-taking crisis" occurred. According to the new regulations, lieutenants will not be able to enter the field to meet with friends and family after the ceremony.

Lieutenants' smartphone use will be restricted on the day of the ceremony.
