The author Francisco Teixeira da Mota analyzes the actions of Turkish courts in cases related to convictions from the European Court of Human Rights. In his opinion, it is very likely that Turkish justice limits itself to adding some cosmetic phrases to its convictions, intended to demonstrate compliance with European standards.
According to the columnist, these phrases will be merely decorative and presented as a way to satisfy European demands. However, the essential content of the judicial decisions will remain unchanged, with the usual standard sentences being maintained.
The text constitutes a critique of the posture of Turkish justice towards the decisions of the ECHR, suggesting that there is a significant distance between the discourse of compliance with European standards and actual judicial practice in Turkey.
