There Is To Louzidiu, But Not To Kazim
Turkish father Kazim Gorgulu applied to ECHR upon the prevention of the German court from seeing his son. Europe’s highest legal institution condemned Germany to pay 16 thousand Euros of compensation to Gorgulu.
However, an interesting attitude came from EU’s strongest member Germany, to ECHR that condemned Turkey, which is at the threshold of the EU, to pay compensation amounting to millions of dollars due to many human rights infringements such as the Greek Cypriot Louzidiu incident.
The German Constitutional Court made the following statement: "Germany does not have to enforce ECHR judgements word by word."
This attitude of the court, which made ECHR judgements disputable, created bewilderment.
Kazim Gorgulu, who lives in Germany, is waging a legal war for 5 years in order to take the parenthood of his illegitimate son Christopher.
