The High Court discussed the application filed by the CHP requesting that "the reading of the letter from the 3rd Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation in the General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) and the revocation of Atalay's parliamentary membership be determined as null and void, and that the resulting de facto change in the Rules of Procedure be annulled," along with a new application filed by Atalay's lawyers, during today's General Assembly agenda.
According to information received, the General Assembly of the Constitutional Court ruled that there was no need to issue a decision on either application.
It was learned that the High Court reached its decision by a majority vote. The reasoning for the decision will be provided later.
The parliamentary membership of Can Atalay, who was elected as a deputy for Hatay from the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP), was revoked in the General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey on January 30.
