Families of the victims of the 1993 Sivas massacre have filed an application with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The legal move follows a twelve-year period during which Turkey’s Constitutional Court left their case undecided. The original tragedy occurred on July 2, 1993, when a mob set fire to a hotel in the central Turkish province of Sivas. This act of violence resulted in multiple deaths and remains a significant point of contention. According to reports from the Cumhuriyet daily, the families are seeking international intervention due to the domestic stalemate. They argue that the prolonged delay in the top court constitutes a failure of justice. The case now moves to the European level to address the lack of resolution.
