SABAH
-- GOVERNMENT'S ECHR TRUMP
The government will use three decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, or ECHR, in order to convince the Presidential Palace and the General Staff to pass a law paving the way for the trial of military personnel by civilian courts.

The ECHR said in its "Ergin decision" in 2006 that "the purview of military courts should cover military personnel who commit crimes when they are on duty". 2. In its 2008 dated "Ozel and others" decision, the ECHR stated that military courts were far from being independent and objective. 3.

Toptan, who pointed out that there was no risk of military coups in Turkey, said "One may think about military coups. One may even have fascist thoughts.
