The applicants were represented by Mr S. Sert , a lawyer practising in Ä°zmir.

The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter .

By letter dated 4 February 2020, sent by registered post, the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired on 15 October 2019 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants ’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicants ’ representative received this letter on 12 February 2020. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

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