**Turkish Villagers to High Court: "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied"**

Residents of İkizköy village protested outside Turkey's Constitutional Court this week. They are challenging a government decision to quickly seize their land. The action allows a mining company to cut down ancient olive groves. Local courts had already ruled to stop the project. They demanded the seizure order be canceled and its implementation paused. The villagers' protest highlights a legal conflict between local judiciary rulings and a national government decree. Their banner read: "Geç gelen adalet, adalet değildir" – a common legal principle meaning "Justice delayed is justice denied."
