Ledi Bianku , President, Nebojša Vučinić , Jon Fridrik Kjølbro , judges, and Hasan Bakırcı, Deputy Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the above applications lodged on 5 January 2010,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicants, whose details are set out in the appendix, are Turkish nationals. They were represented before the Court by Mr Nihat Doğan , a lawyer practicing in Şanlıurfa .
The applicants ’ complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention was communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent.
By letter dated 19 December 2017, sent by registered post, the applicants ’ representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of their claims for just satisfaction had expired on 12 May 2017 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants ’ representative ’ s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant ’ s representative received this letter on 29 December 2017. However, no response has been received to date.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their applications, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the cases.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 7 June 2018 .
