- Abstract
- The issue of freedom of expression in the context of Turkey and the European Court of Human Rights (‘ECtHR’ or ‘the Court’) has been widely discussed from legal perspectives.

Especially, with the changing political, legal and social dynamics in Turkey within 2003-2022, the case-law of the Court increased by a considerable amount. All the contingencies affecting the argumentative and interpretive aspects of how freedom of expression is interpreted by the Court through its established democratic principles and values are investigated in this study from a social scientific perspective in order to uncover the evolutive aspect of the case law. The investigation is conducted on the nexus between the supranational level (through the Convention values), the domestic level (though the state of exception), and the individual level (through the perspectives on victimhood as victim status). The study finds a paradoxical relationship between how deviations occur within the case law of the Court and how the nexus between the individual, domestic, and supranational levels operate within the deeper dynamics of democratic potential and evolutive widening in the horizons of freedom of expression.
