  Whereas under the above-mentioned friendly settlements it was agreed that the Government of Turkey would pay the applicants certain sums (see appendix), within three months as from the notification of the judgments;   Recalling that Rule 44, paragraph 2, of the Rules of the Court provides that the striking out of a case shall be effected by means of a judgment which the President shall forward to the Committee of Ministers once it has become final in order to allow it to supervise, in accordance with Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the execution of any undertakings which may have been attached to the discontinuance or solution of the matter;
