Scope and content
Printed discussion between the applicant's legal representative and Mustafa Ayzit of the Human Rights Association stating the lack of facility of the Turkish legal system to accommodate monolingual Kurdish speakers ('If the subject is a complainant, he or she is basically never listened to... ...Courts do not recognise the Kurdish language') and the de facto denial of the existence of the Kurdish language ('an unknown and unintelligible language') under Turkish law.
