Naturally, this does not violate the principle of the rule of law. However, three type of Turkish Grand National Assembly decision; the Rules of Procedure of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, the decision of disqualification of the Parliament membership and the decision of annulment of the parliamentary immunity are subject to the Constitutional Court’s review. Although the decisions of the Rules of Procedure of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, disqualification of membership and annulment of parliament immunity are about the parliaments functioning and order; these decisions are still subject to the judicial review because of their importance.
