Constitution jurist Prof. Dr. Zafer Uskul said this was "an implementation against the Constitution and law".
He said an order to monitor citizens was a violation of basic human rights and added that the prime ministry and the government should take some action about this implementation.
"Citizens may apply to court saying that their 'citizenship rights are being limited,' and ask whether the report is indeed true," said Uskul.
"But it seems practically impossible that such an application would result in anything concrete. The prime minister should do this on behalf of all citizens."
Uskul added the following:
* Since the General Staff is connected to the prime ministry, if the armed forces wants the local officials to do something, they should first convey this to the prime ministry. The prime ministry should then convey this to the interior ministry, who then should convey it to governors and governors to the local officials.
* "Citizens may apply to court saying that their "citizenship rights are being limited," and ask whether the report is indeed true," said Uskul.
"But it seems practically impossible that such an application would result in anything concrete.
* The prime minister should do this on behalf of all citizens. Because the General Staff is under him, the prime minister should ask the chief of General Staff about this implementation. (BB/EA/NM)
