[edit] About this article...

Is this article written by Guenter Lewy himself? It looks like an exact copy of his denialist thesis, discarding 100% of the trials and 100% of the evidences because of supposed propaganda and because the Ottoman justice works differently than the American one. The verdict is presented as "gifts to the authority". This article is a total non-sense and lack of rigor. --Kremtak 11:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I suggest the author of this article reads this : Inquisitorial system, and then removes some sentences like this one :

During the trials, none of the presented evidence was verified.

since the evidences were verified before the trials. This is how it works in some countries like in France and it works well.

Historians familiar with Ottoman jurisprudence do not hold the process of these trials in a positive light[11].

So, your reference for saying this is only one Turkish author? It's quite a weak reference to encompass all the historians familiar with Ottoman jurisprudence. --Kremtak 11:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OttomanReference, how many FORK will you be creating?

This article is mostly OR, even the claim that it was called Turkish Martial Court because of the targeted subject is OR. Adding the tag. Drosophilawhodoestnotfly 18:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technically, it should be renamed...
