Turkey has been sentenced to paying a total of 13,911 Euros to lawyer Ayhan Erdoğan and Yeni Asya newspaper Ankara representative Mehmet Cevher İlhan for restricting their freedom of expression.
Turkey has violated freedom of expression

Lawyer Erdoğan had previously been sentenced to paying compensation to a district mayor of Istanbul after calling him “heartless and sectarian”. He then appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). On 13 January, the ECHR considered his case and awarded him a total of 11,911 Euros in damages, arguing that Turkey had violated Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

As for journalist İlhan, he had been sentenced for several news items and articles published on different dates. The ECHR has awarded him 2,000 Euros for legal expenditure.
Violence against eight students

In a third case, the ECHR considered the case of eight students from Istanbul University’s Student Coordination who had staged a protest at the beginning of the academic year. They had been treated violently, and the ECHR argued that Turkey had violated their right to freedom of expression. However, the students, Rüya Kurtuluş, Erdinç Gök, Haşim Özgür Ersoy, İnci Açık, Serpil Ocak, Ayfer Çiçek, Nuri Günay and Murat Kaya, will not be paid compensation. (EÖ)

ECHR orders Turkey to pay EUR 830.000 to Cyprus refugee

dismisses Turkey's demand to reexamine decision in Demades case

December 04, 2008

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has dismissed a demand on behalf of Turkey to reexamine its decision in the case of Demades v. Turkey, issued in April 2008, and has called on Ankara to pay 830,000 euros to the applicant for compensation plus interest, as well as 5,000 euros for court expenses, rendering the April decision final.

Commenting on the decision, Ioannis Demades' lawyer, Achilleas Demetriades, said this was a ''significant step'' by the ECHR in reaffirming that the owner of property in the Turkish occupied areas remains the person whose name appears on the deeds.

He added that the compensation ordered by the ECHR does not deny the owner of his property but is merely compensation for loss of use.

The ECHR decision was given to the parties in writing and renders the 22 April 2008 decision final, since the Court dismissed Turkey's demand to reexamine the specific decision.

On 22 April 2008, the ECHR ordered Turkey to pay within three months 835,000 euros to Greek Cypriot refugee Ioannis Demades for the loss of use of his property in the northern coastal town of Kyrenia, occupied by Turkish troops since the Turkish invasion in 1974.

The Fourth Section of the ECHR ordered Turkey to pay the applicant in the case Demades v. Turkey within three months the comprehensive sums of 785,000 euros in respect of pecuniary damage, 45,000 euros in respect of non pecuniary damage and 5,000 euros in respect of costs and expenses.

The Court recalled that in its principle judgment it found Turkey guilty of continuous violations of the European Convention of Human Rights by reason of complete denial of the rights of the applicant with respect to his home and the peaceful enjoyment of his property in Kyrenia.

It added that its finding of a violation of the applicant’s rights with respect to his home and the peaceful enjoyment of his property was based on the fact that as a consequence of being continuously denied access to his land since 1974 the applicant had effectively lost all access and control as well as all possibilities to use and enjoy his property.

Displaced Greek Cypriots like the applicant cannot be deemed to have lost title to their property and compensation to be awarded by this Court in such cases is confined to losses emanating from the denial of access and loss of control, use and enjoyment of his property, the decision adds.

Demades, who passed away in 2006, submitted his application against Turkey in 1990. His heirs pursued the application later on.

The decision was held by six votes to one. The Turkish Cypriot judge, representing Turkey, voted against the decision.

Demades’ home, a two storage house with garden near the sea, is now occupied by a Turkish high ranking army person. The whole area around the house is a Turkish military zone.

ECHR Orders Turkey to Pay Compensations
http://europenews.dk/en/node/9621


Nicosia: The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Tuesday ordered Turkey to pay within three months €835.000 ($1.3 mil) to Greek Cypriot refugee Ioannis Demades for the loss of use of his property in the northern coastal town of Kyrenia, occupied by Turkish troops since the Turkish invasion of 1974.

The Fourth Section of the ECHR ordered Turkey to pay the applicant in the case Demades vs. Turkey within three months from now the following comprehensive sums: €785.000 ($1.2 mil) in respect of pecuniary damage, €45.000 ($70,000) in respect of non-pecuniary damage and €5.000 ($7,850) for costs and expenses.

The Court recalled that in its principle judgment it found Turkey guilty of continuous violations of the European Convention of Human Rights by reason of complete denial of the rights of the applicant with respect to his home and the peaceful enjoyment of his property in Kyrenia.

It added that its finding of a violation of the applicant’s rights with respect to his home and the peaceful enjoyment of his property was based on the fact that as a consequence of being continuously denied access to his land since 1974 the applicant had effectively lost all access and control as well as all possibilities to use and enjoy his property.

''He is therefore entitled to a measure of compensation in respect of losses directly related to this violation of his rights as from the date of deposit of Turkey’s declaration recognizing the right of individual petition, namely January 1987 until the present time'', the decision says.

The Court stresses that the applicant can not be deemed to have lost title to his property.

Displaced Greek Cypriots like the applicant cannot be deemed to have lost title to their property and compensation to be awarded by this Court in such cases is confined to losses emanating from the denial of access and loss of control, use and enjoyment of his property, the decision adds.

John Demades, who passed away in 2006, submitted his application against Turkey in 1990. His heirs pursued later on the application.

The decision was held by six votes to one. The Turkish Cypriot judge, representing Turkey, voted against the decision.

Greek Cypriot lawyer Achilleas Demetriades, described the Court’s decision as very important, saying that the decision reaffirms that the Greek Cypriots are the sole owners of their properties in the Turkish occupied areas.

He added that the Court’s decision is important since it gives an estimation of the cost of occupation of the Greek Cypriot properties in Kyrenia.

Mr. Demetriades noted that in case Turkey does not pay the compensation in three months, it will be charged with an additional 8% interest per year.

Mr. Demades’ home, a two storage house with a garden near the sea, is now occupied by a Turkish high ranking army officer. The whole area around the house is a Turkish military zone.

The Greek Cypriot lawyer expressed the view that the Demades case signalizes the end of the first round of cases and explained:

“By this I mean that the Demades case is the third successful case dealing with compensations from Turkey in matters of property rights. The first case was the Loizidou Case when the right of property was secured, the second was the Xenidi - Aresti Case when the cost of occupation in the fenced off city of Famagusta was determined and the third is the Demades Case which determined the cost of occupation in Kyrenia”.

Thirty-two petitions of Greek Cypriot refugees against Turkey have been accepted by the Court and will be examined soon.

Greece is not the one illegally occupying Cyprus ... but TURKEY!

Greece illegally ocuppies 61% of our island since 1964. Greece has big responsibility of converting RoC into the so-called RoC. She blackmailed both NATO and EU to invade 61% of our island, Cyprus.

European Court of Human Rights (ECHR): Case of Mamatkulov and Abdurasulovic v. Turkey, Application Nos. 46827/99 and 46951/99

http://www.asil.org/ilib0604.cfm#J1

The ECHR held that Turkey was in violation of Article 34 of the European Convention on Human Rights (?the Convention?), which provides that the High Contracting Parties of the ECHR shall not interfere with the right of the Court to receive applications from those claiming to be a victim of a violation of the Convention. The ECHR found that Turkey was not in violation of Article 3 (prohibition of torture) or Article 6 (right to a fair trial). The Court further held that the finding of a violation of Article 34 was in itself just satisfaction for the applicants? non-pecuniary damage, and additionally awarded the applicants with court costs.

The case involved Turkey?s extradition of two Uzbek nationals who were members of a political opposition party in Uzbekistan. Both applicants were detained by Turkish police as suspects for a fatal bombing in Uzbekistan and attempted assassination of Uzbekistan?s President. Uzbekistan invoked the bilateral extradition treaty between Uzbekistan and Turkey as a basis for the extradition.

The President of the Chamber of the ECHR indicated interim measures to Turkey pursuant to Rule 39, stating that it would be in the interest of the parties and in the interest of the administration of procedure that Turkey refrain from extraditing the applicants to Uzbekistan prior to a meeting of the competent chamber of the ECHR. The applicants were nonetheless extradited to Uzbekistan on March 27, 1999, contrary to the Court?s indication of interim measures. In July 1999, the High Court of Uzbekistan informed the ECHR that the applicants had been found guilty of the bombing and had been sentenced to prison for twenty and eleven years, respectively.

The applicants alleged violations of Articles 2, 3 and 6 of the Convention. Counsel for the applicants claimed that following the extradition, they were unable to communicate with the applicants, either by telephone or mail, and that investigations by international human rights organizations revealed Uzbekistan?s practice of torture and imprisonment of political dissidents. Counsel for the applicants further argued that while the applicants refuted the accusations against them in Turkey, they completely accepted them in Uzbekistan, indicating that their confessions were involuntary.

The ECHR disregarded the applicants? arguments under Article 2 concerning the right to life, and focused its analysis under Article 3, finding that the applicants had failed to allege particular acts of torture carried out by Uzbekistan officials towards the applicants. The court further found that Article 6 of the Convention, regarding the right to be heard before a fair and impartial tribunals, was inapplicable to Turkey?s decisions regarding entry, residence and expulsion of aliens. The Court found, however, that by not conforming to its obligations to abide by the interim measures issued by the ECHR, Turkey violated its obligation under Article 34 of the Convention.
