The Constitutional Court annulled the 4th clause of Article 2 as well as Article 38 of the Statutory Decree No. 668 issued within the State of Emergency on July 27, 2016, that allowed many press-media organisations to be shut down. The decree had been enacted as Law No. 6755 after having been presented to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. The court indicated that the expressions, “coherence and the relation of belonging” involved in the decree are subjective and general expressions for the administration to decide upon, deciding that the shutdowns must be made through judicial decrees. On the other hand, lawsuits of objection filed by many organisations, which were previously shut down through the Statutory Decree, continue at administrative courts.
