The Court also ruled that Turkey is guilty of violating Article 2 in
respect of the failure to conduct an effective investigation into the
circumstances in which Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou were
killed.

Under Article 41 (just satisfaction) of the Convention, the Court
awarded 80,000 euro to Anastasios Isaaks widow for pecuniary damage. In
respect of non-pecuniary damage, the Court awarded 35,000 euro each to
Anastasios Isaaks widow, his parents, and to Solomos Solomous father,
and also 15,000 euro to each of Anastasios Isaaks and Solomos Solomous
siblings. The applicants in both cases were also awarded 12,000 for
costs and expenses.
