CEYHAN AND OTHERS v. TURKEY

 
Communicated on 23 January 2019
 
SECOND SECTION
Application no. 23591/09
Necdet CEYHAN and others
against Turkey
lodged on 13 April 2009
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the partial expropriation of the applicants’ land and the compensation awarded to them by the domestic court.
In 1993 part of the applicants’ land was expropriated by the administration for the construction of a telephone central building. The applicants brought a case for additional compensation, as a result of which they were awarded a certain amount of compensation in 2007.
The applicants complain of a violation of their rights under Article 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention.
QUESTION tO THE PARTIES
Has there been a violation of the applicants’ peaceful enjoyment of possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, on account of the calculation of the compensation awarded to them for the partial expropriation of their land?
In particular, did the domestic court take account of the decrease in the value in the non-expropriated part of the land? If not, did that failure to grant indemnity for the decrease in the value of the remaining estate impose a disproportionate burden on the applicants (see Ouzounoglou v. Greece, no. 32730/03, 24 November 2005; Athanasiou and Others v. Greece, no. 2531/02, 9 February 2006; and Bistrović v. Croatia, no. 25774/05, 31 May 2007)?
