CONFISCATION
The largest property return might remain unfulfilled
The municipality filed a lawsuit to the Administrative Court for getting back the land that was returned to Surp Pırgiç Hospital in 2014. After losing that lawsuit, the municipality appealed to Council of State. And 10th Chamber of the Council of State made an unprecedentedly quick ruling and reversed the judgment of the court by reasoning that the land that was expropriated by the municipality cannot be returned to the foundation.
Surp Pırgiç got its land back, but can’t use it
The land, on which Zeytinburnu Stadium is also located, is returned to Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation, but this land is turned into green space by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
