SELÇUK AND ASKER JUDGMENT 31 DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE GÖLCÜKLÜ (Translation) I consider that in this case as in other similar cases concerning Turkey – like the Akdivar and Others case – the applicants have not exhausted existing domestic remedies and that those remedies are effective and sufficient. In that connection, I refer to my dissenting opinion in the principal judgment in the Akdivar and Others v. Turkey case. I wish to add another recent administrative court judgment as one more example of the existence of domestic remedies: the Van Administrative Court awarded compensation to Mr Nizamettin Ağırtmış, whose house was burned by the military when it was abandoned during the evacuation of the village of Konalga, in the district of Bitlis in south-east Turkey, on 8 November 1991. The judgment in question makes it clear that the complainant’s house was burned by soldiers after the evacuation of the village (Van Administrative Court, file no. 1993/427, decision no. 1996/771 of 27 December 1996). The above considerations make it unnecessary for me to consider this case from the standpoint of the Convention’s other provisions.
