Article 26: Expropriation by way of exchange

Part Five: Damage, Arising Rights and Obligations, Expropriation by Way of Exchange and Urgent Expropriation › Chapter Three: Exchange and Urgent Expropriation

If the owner accepts, instead of the expropriation price, an amount of the administration's immovable properties that have not been allocated to public service, sufficient to cover this price in part or in full, may be given.

The value of the immovable property to be given in lieu of the expropriation price shall be determined by the tender commission of the administration or, if there is none, by a commission to be set up by it for this purpose. The difference between the prices of the immovable properties shall be covered in cash by the parties. However, the value of the immovable property to be given by the administration may not exceed one hundred and twenty per cent of the expropriation price.

MADDE 26 · Trampa yolu ile kamulaştırma

Mal sahibinin kabul etmesi halinde kamulaştırma bedeli yerine, idarenin kamu hizmetine tahsis edilmemiş olan taşınmaz mallarından, bu bedeli kısmen veya tamamen karşılayacak miktarı verilebilir.

Kamulaştırma bedeli yerine verilecek taşınmaz malın değeri, idarenin ihale komisyonunca yoksa bu amaçla kuracağı bir komisyonca tespit edilir. Taşınmaz mal bedelleri arasındaki fark taraflarca nakit olarak karşılanır. Ancak idarenin vereceği taşınmaz malın değeri, kamulaştırma bedelinin yüzde yüzyirmisini aşamaz.
