    EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS UNDER THE LIGHT OF LEYLA SAHIN DECISION Attorney Fatma Benli Translated by Bengül Altaş, Maryam Al Zoubi, Hüseyin Erkaya, Dilek Gölet, Ayşe Maden, Jonathan Sugden, Melek Hilal Yazıcı 2010 İSTANBUL I With my endless thanks to my family who are always supporting me limitlessly. Fatma Benli Preface Though during the 80s it is a time-to time recurring food of controversy; “headscarf in the Turkish Universities”, become a material problem after the February 28 Post- Modern coup d’Etat. First the sentence of “Behaviors about the apparel which are emerged against law, push the Turkey into an outdated image; shall be banned; the law and Constitutional Court Decisions about this subject shall be applied without any exception especially on the public instutions and associations.” had been added to the well-known MGK (National Security Council) decisions. Approximately a year later, The Constitutional Court had cited the Party’s defence for freedom of headscarf in Universities as a reason of their decision of the ban of Refah Party. (Welfare Party) After the Ban decision, while wearing headscarf was completely free, a retired military officer who had a duty at the MGK, had given briefings on “how the headscarf would be banned”, to firstly university rectors, then to Judges. After then, Committee of Rectors, had published a declaration with the title of “The regulations governing the apparel at the Higher Education Institutions and Legal Comments” –which is probably had been prepared during those briefings-. After that declaration of Committee of rectors, “the rectors that are taken the briefing” had understood that the headscarf is banned at the universities and they applied the headscarf ban at this direction.

  • Turkey Page 1 of 8
    Turkey Page 1 of 8 Turkey International Religious Freedom Report 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice; however, the Government imposes some restrictions on Muslim and other religious groups and on Muslim religious expression in government offices and state-run institutions, including universities. There was some deterioration in respect for religious freedom during the reporting period. The Government's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) initiated a public campaign against Christian missionary activity in the country. High-level government officials made statements depicting missionaries as a threat. There was also an increase in anti-Christian media coverage. Threats and vandalism against Christians and church facilities increased. In addition, some Muslims, Christians, and Baha'is faced some restrictions and occasional harassment for alleged proselytizing or holding unauthorized meetings. The State continued to oppose "Islamic fundamentalism." Authorities continued their broad ban on wearing Muslim religious dress in government facilities, including universities, schools, and workplaces. The generally tolerant relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom in principle; however, a sharp debate continued over the country's definition of "secularism," the proper role of religion in society, and the potential influence of the country's small minority of Islamists. According to the general perception, Turkish identity is based on the Turkish language and the Islamic faith. Religious minorities say they are effectively blocked from careers in state institutions, a claim supported in a report by a government human rights body. Christians, Baha'is, and some Muslims faced societal suspicion and mistrust, and more radical Islamist elements continued to express anti-Semitic sentiments.

  • Constitutional Court of Turkey
    Constitutional Court of Turkey Constitutional Court of Turkey www.constitutionalcourt.gov.tr 3 THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to all readers of this booklet and express my thanks for their genuine interest in the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey. This booklet pro- vides brief information on the general structure, the jurisdiction and proceedings as well as the physical properties of the Constitutional Court. The Turkish Constitutional Court, being one of the oldest constitu- tionality review organs established in Europe, has accumulated a sizeable amount of experience in its history of more than fifty years. You will find reflections of the development of constitutional justice in our country and the Court’s transformation process up to present in this booklet. Prof. Dr. Zühtü Arslan The basic function of the Constitutional Court of Turkey can be sum- President marized as safeguarding and promoting democracy, rule of law and the fundamental rights and freedoms. In performing this crucial function, the Court has learned a lot from its past experiences and continuously developed its jurisprudence to better address the needs of the time. I am more than happy to express that Turkish Constitutional Court has shown a significant progress to achieve a paradigm shift and adopted a “rights-based paradigm” in the recent years. Our Court strives to establish con- stitutional and individual justice through constitutionality review and individual application. Consequently, the Constitutional Court has become the bulwark of fundamental rights and freedoms to a considerable extent. This paradigm shift can be tracked down especially in our judgments concerning individual applications.

This opinion has been adopted by the Venice Commission at its 59th Plenary Session in Venice on 17-18 June 2004. I. GENERAL 4. The proposed amendments would result in changes in two main areas.

    Medeniyet Araştırmaları Dergisi, Cilt: 2 Sayı: 3 Yıl: 2015 Journal of Civilization Studies, Volume: 2 Issue: 3 Year: 2015 55 POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AND ERDOGAN: A REVIEW TO 27 APRIL E-MEMORANDUM PROCESS Süleyman TEMİZ Abstract: After the 2002 general election in Turkey, Justice and Development Party has received significant vote percentage and the Party has become single ruling party in Turkey. Under these circumstances, after long- term coalition period Turkey has started its transformation. At the beginning, like every newly established Turkish government, the AK party started to have problems with the Turkish army. The initial conflict emerged from democratic reforms aimed at harmonization with the European Union requirements. Actually, it was a classic disagreement, which has been seen all the time in Turkish politics because of the sharing of administration power between AK party and the army. This article investigates the role of Erdogan's policy and his political leadership on Turkish Army. Keywords: Erdogan, Turkey, Election, Army, Secularism. POLİTİK LİDERLİK VE ERDOĞAN: 27 NİSAN E-MEMORANDUM SÜRECİNE BİR BAKIŞ Öz: Türkiye'de yapılan 2002 genel seçimlerinden sonra, Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi kayda değer bir oy oranı elde etti ve Parti, tek başına iktidar oldu. Bu koşullar altında, uzun dönem devam eden koalisyon hükümetleri devrinden sonra Türkiye dönüşümüne başladı. Her yeni kurulan hükümette olduğu gibi, AK Parti’de ordu ile sorun yaşamaya başladı. İlk tartışma konusu, Avrupa Birliği gerekliliklerine uyum sağlamayı amaçlayan demokratik reformlar nedeniye ortaya çıkmıştır. Esasen, AK Parti yönetimi ile ordu arasındaki bu yönetim gücünün paylaşımı sebebiyle ortaya çıkan anlaşmazlıklar Türk siyasetinde hemen hemen her hükümetin yaşadığı bir durumdu.
