Description
Also known as Asappi, these were irregular light infantry of the Ottoman Army.
The Azaps were also known as “the bachelors”, volunteers who were paid only during campaigns and had the freedom to leave the army whenever they wanted.
The main role of Azaps was fighting as infantry archers, but as volunteers they tended to have a wide range of weaponry such as pole arms (the tirpan and harba) as well as halberds (balta). In addition to polearms they were armed with a variety of maces, bows, sabres and to a rarer extent crossbows. Later on, guns were adopted instead.
