Honorary Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Sabih Kanadoglu, said the recent amendment made in the Code of Criminal Procedures, aimed at restricting the powers of the military judiciary, was a violation of the constitution. Kanadoglu said a constitutional amendment was necessary to restrict the powers of the constitutional court.
Kanadoglu who pointed out that the amendment was made with last minute proposals, said it was not possible to justify it on the grounds that it was inline with "EU norms" . "The way the amendment was made, how it was rushed, is not well intended," said Kanadoglu.
