Paragraph 78
 

In case of a conflict between a decree and a law “due to differences in provisions on the same matter”, the latter should prevail. The Turkish authorities have made clear that “if there is controversy between them, the superior norms are deemed applicable and everyone has to abide by this provision in the state of law.”
