The applicant was represented by Ms S. Epçeli Arslan, a lawyer practising in Istanbul.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 of the Convention concerning the alleged unfairness of the criminal proceedings against him on account of ( i ) his inability to confront co-accused N.G.; (ii) the Court of Cassation ’ s failure to hold a public hearing; and (iii) the breach of the principle of immediacy owing to the trial court ’ s alleged failure to hear N.G. in person were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”) .

The Court received the friendly-settlement declaration , signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him the amount detailed in the appended table. This amount will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court ’ s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on it, from the 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 case before the European Court of Human Rights.
