Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey has applied many sanctions on political parties, including their closure, since the establishment of the court. These decisions and sanctions were quite often criticized doctrinally by questioning the legal and political grounds of the courts’ justifications. This article, after giving the scope of the prohibitions to political parties under both the 1961 and 1982 constitutions, will evaluate the constitutional court’s interpretation in respect of the restrictions. In the next part the political party restrictions under the political parties act will be examined and the position of these regulations comparing with the constitutional aspect will be criticized. The closure sanctions given by the constitutional court, according to the Constitutions aforementioned and the Political Parties act, will also be examined in the light of international regulations
