The applicants’ lands were previously designated as military forbidden zone and were later converted into military security zone. They all initiated compensation proceedings for de facto expropriation before the civil courts. Their cases were dismissed by the domestic courts on the grounds that the restrictions had been terminated by the re-classification of the properties as military security zone. Those sets of proceedings became final in 2003. In 2004 the applicants lodged new cases before the Oltu Civil Court of General Jurisdiction, this time requesting the halt of the unlawful occupation of their lands (men-i müdahale davası) and seeking compensation (ecrimisil davası) . The court once again dismissed their cases, finding that although the restriction on the property had indeed been established, the applicants had failed to substantiate their loss resulting from that restriction. The details of the applications are set out in the attached table. Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No.1 to the Convention, the applicants complain about the restrictions they have had to endure as a result of the interference of the military authorities. In their view, this interference constituted de facto expropriation of their land and that the authorities failed to pay them compensation to cover their losses. QUESTIONs tO THE PARTIES Has there been a violation of the applicants’ peaceful enjoyment of possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No.   1, as a result of the designation of their lands as military security zone and the resulting restrictions on their access to and use of their lands? In that connection, what was the extent of the impugned restrictions? In particular, did those restrictions and the domestic authorities’ refusal to expropriate the lands or award compensation to the applicants impose an excessive individual burden on them (see, mutatis mutandis , Sarıca and   Dilaver v. Turkey , no. 11765/05, 27 May 2010)?   The Government are invited to submit copies of all the relevant documents concerning the impugned proceedings, in particular, the decisions of the Court of Cassation, the documents submitted before the domestic court by the applicants in support of their compensation claims, and any expert report assessed by the court to determine the applicants’ losses. The parties are also requested to provide the Court with an expert report, preferably judicial, on the alleged damage caused to the applicants by the impugned interference. The report should point out all the objective criteria it relies on in reaching its conclusions. No. Application no.
