According to Article 135 of the Rules of Procedure of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (hereinafter “the Rules of Procedure”), the deputies who have been sentenced for one of the crimes indicated in Article 76 of the Constitution shall be removed from office. It appears that, in this case, the National Assembly does not proceed to a vote for the removal from office, since, according to Article 136 of the Rules, the deputy is automatically removed from office once the final court decision is communicated to the Plenary of the National Assembly.
