Türkiye (application no. 58919/18)   The applicant, Erol Aksoy, is a Turkish national who was born in 1946 and lives in Istanbul.   The case concerns the non-enforcement of judgments delivered by the Supreme Administrative Court   following proceedings initiated by Mr Aksoy to annul decisions related to the valuation, tender   invitation and subsequent sale of a television channel and radio station owned by joint-stock   companies in which he held shares.   Relying on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article   to Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the European Convention, Mr Aksoy complains that the   national authorities have failed to comply with the judgments of the Supreme Administrative Court   which had been given in his favour.   Violation of Article 6 § 1   Just satisfaction:   non-pecuniary damage: 5,000 euros (EUR)   costs and expenses: EUR 2,500   This press release is a document produced by the Registry.

During the three-month period following a Chamber   judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a panel   of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and deliver a   final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the Convention,   judgments delivered by a Committee are final.   Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.   Further information about the execution process can be found here: www.coe.int/t/dghl/monitoring/execution   Jane Swift (tel.: + 33 3 88 41 29 04)   Claire Windsor (tel.: + 33 3 88 41 24 01)   The European Court of Human Rights was set up in Strasbourg by the Council of Europe member   States in 1959 to deal with alleged violations of the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights.   2
