It corresponds to a
corps general (
modern Turkish:
Korgeneral) in the modern
Turkish Army. The rank was junior to the
Birinci Ferîk/Ferîk-i Evvel (
Lieutenant General) and superior to the rank
Mirliva (
Brigade general) in the Ottoman Army and the pre-1935 Turkish Army. The collar mark (later
shoulder mark) and
cap (until 1933) of a
Ferîk had three stripes and two stars during the early years of the

ferîk rank was designated as
korgeneral for Army
ferîks and
koramiral for Navy
ferîks. ==Current use==
