CEVAP:

Public prosecution in Turkey is a duty carried out by persons from judge class. In this regard, the public prosecutors have tenure of judges, and their appointments, promotions and discipline provisions are finalized by the CoJP as for the judges. Public prosecutors do not have any relation with the Bar Associations and other occupational organizations for lawyers. Their rights for election as members of supreme courts, being a member of the CoJP or other rights are the same with the judges. However, they are in the same position with the defence counsels during trial and they cannot intervene in the decisions of the judges.
