Turkey Says ECHR Reiteration of Kavala Case is Malicious, Politically motivated

TURKEY
  • Turkish Foreign Ministry says constantly bringing the Kavala judgment forward on the agenda is a malicious, intentional and inconsistent approach
  • It is evident that this prejudiced and politically motivated decision, which disregards the domestic proceedings, damages the credibility of the European human rights system.
  • In order to ensure effectiveness of the Council of Europe’s human rights system, the Committee of Ministers should set aside its biased and selective approach. Our expectation is that the ECtHR assesses this decision on a fair basis; and considering the pending domestic proceedings, does not act as a first instance court; and delivers its judgment in accordance with its case-law and principles, as well as the European Convention on Human Rights.
