Constitutional Court rejects the application of 5 lieutenants! The reason is clear

Lieutenants Ebru Eroğlu, Batuhan Gazi Kılıç, Deniz Demirtaş, Serhat Gündar and Talip İzzet Akarsu, who took the oath by drawing their swords after the graduation ceremony of the National Defense University Military Academy on August 30, 2024, were given a 'punishment of separation from the Armed Forces' within the scope of the disciplinary investigation.

The decision of the Land Forces Command High Disciplinary Board dated January 16, 2025 regarding the dismissal of lieutenants from the Turkish Armed Forces was published on January 30, 2025.

5 dismissed lieutenants made an individual application to the Constitutional Court, claiming that their right to a fair trial was violated. The 2nd Section 3rd Commission of the Constitutional Court, which examined the application, stated that the allegations of violation of the right to a fair trial were not within the scope of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The court ruled that the alleged violations subject to the application were not within the common protection area of ​​the Constitution and the ECHR. In its decision dated 6 November 2026, the Constitutional Court definitively decided that the application was unacceptable due to lack of jurisdiction in terms of the subject matter, without examining other admissibility conditions. It was also decided that the costs of the trial should be left to the applicants.
