You can not join Turkish Army if you are not a citizen of Republic of Turkey. If you are a male Turkish citizen, you are subject to draft, regardless of your ethnic origins. So you will join the armed forces, anyway. Things get a little complicated if you want to be an officer in Turkish armed forces, but you are not an ethnic Turk. The armed forced intelligence does a extensive background check to allow you in. I have not heard a single case like that. However Pakistani nationals are trained Turkish armed forces academies, if they are sent there by Pakistani armed forces.
As far as i know, yes, but they may look into your background and decide upon from there. If you have Turkish Parents (Republic of Turkey or North Cyprus) citizenship, joining the army is possible. If your parents turned out to Have Greece citizenship, this will be looked into, and most possibly your application declined.
