The European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision that the book "Gypsies in Turkey" did not constitute a violation of the right to respect for private and family life. Mustafa Aksu had previously appealed the decision on behalf of the Roma Associations.

With a four to three vote, the ECHR decided that neither the book "The Gypsies in Turkey" written by Prof. Dr. Özkan nor the dictionary of the Turkish Language Institution contained discriminatory expressions against Roma in Turkey.
