(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) >The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ordered Turkey to pay the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) 1 million euros for pecuniary damage concerning the confiscation of a substantial portion of the assets of the party by the Constitutional Court following an inspection of its accounts for the years 2007 to 2009.
The court concluded that the “high standard of foreseeability required as regards the laws that govern the inspection of the finances of political parties had not been satisfied in the applicant party’s case” the court ruled.
“Accordingly the confiscation orders had not been ‘prescribed by law’ in breach of Article 11” it said.
