The list of applicant s is set out in the appended table.
The applicants were represented by Mr L. Ercan , a lawyer practising in Ankara.
The applicants ’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, concerning the non-enforcement of the domestic judgments awarding them compensation, were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”) . C omplaints based on the same facts were also communicated under Article 13 of the Convention.
The Court received friendly-settlement declarations under which the applicant s agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts 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 these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, 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 cases.
