Ceza hukukunda haksız tahrik, suça etki eden bir nedendir. Kanunda ise özel tahrikin düzenlemelerine rastlamak mümkündür. Böyle olunca özel normun önceliği ilkesi gereği bu hükümler uygulanmak durumundadır. Hakaret suçları özelinde uygulama alanı bulan TCK m. 129, bu bağlamda Yargıtay kararlarının da ışığında haksız tahrikin özel bir hali olarak inceleme konusu yapılmıştır.
Unjust provocation, for the Turkish criminal law, is a mitigating cause. Unjust provocation, regulated in the Article 29 of the Turkish Penal Code No. 5237, is the common cause which affects the crime that can be applied in terms of all crimes. The first condition of unjust provocation is the existence of a wrongful act of the victim. The second condition is that this wrongful act creates anger or severe pain. The other condition is that there is a cause-effect link between the crime committed and the state of anger. It is clear that unjust provocation can be compatible with intentional crimes. However, it is controversial whether unjust provocation can be applied in terms of negligent crimes. It is possible to find special provocation regulations in the special provisions of the Turkish Penal Code regarding to the crime of insult. These regulations have no ontological difference from general provocation regulations. Thus, due to the lex specialis principle, these provisions must be applied firstly. Article 129 of Turkish Penal Code, which is applied in cases of defamation, is examined in this study with reference to the Court of Cassation case law.
