Lawyer Atalay: This decision was made under pressure
Chamber of Architects’ Lawyer Can Atalay told bianet:
“State Council had approved the decision of Administrative Court. This kind of revision of decision request cannot be. Some exceptional cases are needed for it. For example a false document or something. However, State Council didn’t think over these. Now, we will wait and see what 1st Administrative Court will do.”
What’s the other verdict?
If Administrative Court doesn’t insist on its decision, another local court’s decision will be expected.
Lawyer Can Atalay said Chamber of Architects filed a suit against avant project of Artillery Barracks and judicial process will go on. (NV/BD)
