PROCEDURE

The applicants , whose names appear in the appendix hereto , are Turkish nationals who live in Istanbul . They were represented before the Court by Mr Ö. Kılı ç , a lawyer practising in İstanbul . The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.

On 20 October 2010 the Court decided to communicate the applicants ’ complaints to the Government under Article 10 of the Convention, in the light of the case of Ürper and Others v. Turkey (nos. 14526/07, 14747/07, 15022/07, 15737/07, 36137/07, 47245/07, 50371/07, 50372/07 and 54637/07, 20 October 2009).

On 14 July and 14 October 2011 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay the amounts below:

- EUR 7,800 (seven thousand eight hundred euros ) to M ehmet Atı lgan to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage ;

- EUR 1,800 (one thousand eight hundred euros ) each to Kudret Gülün , Nurcan Ercan , Güler Özdemir , Yılmaz Yıldız , Nezife Gündüz , Sevinç Karaman and Rüya Işık to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage ;

- EUR 1,000 (one thousand euro s ) to all applicants , jointly , to cover the costs and expenses.

These amounts w ill be converted into Turkish liras at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applica ble. They will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the event of failure to pay this sum within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on it, from expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points. The payment will constitute the final resolution of the cases.

THE LAW

The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the applications (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case s out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court unanimously

Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
