Allegations

The complainant alleges that the Attorney-General of Ankara filed a lawsuit requesting the courts to order the dissolution of the Trade Union of Public Servants in the Education Branch (Egitim Sen), because its statutes provided as one of the trade union’s purposes the defence of “the right of all citizens to education in their mother tongue and the development of their culture”, which was contrary, according to the Attorney-General, to constitutional and legislative provisions prohibiting the teaching of any language other than Turkish as mother tongue, and Article 3 of the national Constitution which provides that the Turkish State, along with its nation and territory, constitutes an indivisible entity
