Turkish Courts Set 2026 Karaman Expropriation Hearing and Gaziantep Sentencing

The Karaman 5th Civil Court of First Instance scheduled a hearing for the expropriation case of several parcels in Ayrancı district on 21 August 2026 at 09:30. The case involves land originally slated for purchase under the 2942 law, but after failed negotiations, the court opened a proceeding to determine compensation for multiple parcels ranging from 8.89 m² to over 2,000 m².

The Gaziantep 15th Heavy Criminal Court issued a judgment on 6 August 2026 sentencing Muhammed Mustafa, a Syrian‑born defendant, to two years and six months imprisonment for negligent homicide under articles 85/1 and 62/1 of the Turkish Penal Code. The court noted difficulties in notifying the defendant and co‑defendants due to unknown addresses, and ordered the decision to be published in the official gazette.
