Supreme Court

// 19 parties and 5 coalition groups have registered to participate in the upcoming September 20 elections. The 1st Section of the Supreme Court is expected to decide on which parties will take part in the coming elections.

The 19 parties and their leaders are:

1) Radical Left Coalition SYRIZA (Alexis Tsipras)

Political parties and five political coalitions will vie for Greek citizens’ vote in the upcoming Sept. 20 election — the third time ballots will be set up in 2015 in a bid to for something to grad the “Greek electoral charm”

A formal announcement is expected by a relevant Supreme Court department.

Supreme Court of Appeals President ?smail Rü?tü Ciri has warned against groups substituting their own interests for the public's interest, in an indirect reference to the Gülen Movement in the civil service affiliated with U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen. 

Political developments in Greece ahead of next month’s snap election – the third time voters will head to the ballot box in 2015! – turned surreal over the weekend, with one top SYRIZA MP threatening to commit … suicide, while former leftist comrades continued their “civil war” over the airwaves.

Greece geared up for its fifth election in six years with a poll on Aug. 28 showing leftist leader Alexis Tsipras in the lead for re-election despite a wave of defections from his Syriza party.

"Today the great electoral battle begins. The Greek people will give a strong mandate for the present and the future," Tsipras said in a statement to Avgi, the Syriza daily.

The outgoing government of Turkey has initiated a major overhaul in military judiciary, with a decree also signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, changing the posts of 70 military judges and prosecutors.

A new caretaker government until snap elections next month will be sworn-in on Friday, with Supreme Court justice Vassiliki Thanou as prime minister. The Cabinet, as announced, includes:

Foreign Minister: Petros Molyviatis

Alternate Minister for European Affairs: Spyros Flogaitis

Interior Minister: Antonis Manitakis

Kenan Ceylan who died in uniform in Hakkari ?emdinli is an Alevi from Tokat. That's why two separate funerals were held. The first one was held in a cemevi (an Alevi house of worship), according to his faith and the official funeral was held in front of the building of the provincial governor.

Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos appointed on Thursday the head of the country's Supreme Court, Vassiliki Thanou, as the caretaker prime minister ahead of the early general elections.

Thanou, who became the first female Greek prime minister, will swear her oath of office later on Thursday, while her cabinet will be inaugurated on Friday, daily Kathimerini informs.

The government is obliged to implement decisions taken by Turkey?s Supreme Court and the ECHR on the rights of the Alevis, or else the justice system will be blocked by thousands of new legal cases and ?unfortunate?
