The Turkish individual application system has been subjected to many criticisms from the first time on. The article criticizes the Turkish individual application system only with respect to violations stemming from statutes. Accordingly, the lack of individual application based on violations directly stemming from statutes and the fact that the violating statute cannot be annulled as a result of the individual application process are important deficiencies of the system. This is because unless the statute violating the fundamental rights and freedoms is annulled, the violation will persist and it will be impossible to protect rights and freedoms effectively. Contrary to this, the Turkish individual application system seems to believe that the violation of the right occurs once an individual norm addressing the person is applied. This leads to a peculiarity which is difficult to eliminate. Accordingly, one might come across cases where the rights of individuals acting as expected by the legal system by complying with a valid statute are violated whereas those violating the valid statute are rewarded by the violation verdict of the Constitutional Court. The article examines the ways to circumvent these deficiencies within the bounds of positive law, stresses that these ways are far from being efficient, and suggests the solution of the problem via constitutional revision.
