Associations, Foundations and Cooperatives Law and Actions

Associations, Foundations and Cooperatives Law and Actions

Established in accordance with the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721 and having a deep-rooted history, diversity and numerical multiplicity in our country, Associations are “constantly combining the knowledge and work of at least seven real or legal persons in order to achieve a specific and common purpose other than sharing profits. can be defined as “groups of persons with legal personality.

Again, foundations, which have a long ingrained history than associations in our country, are property groups with legal personality formed by real or legal persons assuming sufficient goods and rights for a specific and permanent purpose. It is the branch of law that studies and examines its controls, activities and terminations.

Cooperatives, whose development is supported by Article 171 of the Turkish Constitution; A variable partnership established by real and legal persons in order to provide and protect certain economic interests and especially their professional or livelihood needs by means of mutual assistance, solidarity and surety with the labor and monetary contributions of at least seven partners, who are legal entities, by coming together with the articles of association. can be defined as variable capital partnerships. Cooperatives Law, on the other hand, is the branch of law that examines the rules of cooperatives that help meet the needs of the members by forming a union, and regulates other issues between the cooperative and its members and other issues.

In Turkish Law, since associations established to realize a certain common purpose other than profit sharing and foundations formed by allocating sufficient property and rights of individuals to a specific and permanent purpose are given legal personality, Cooperatives are also given the right to provide economic gain to their members and this purpose is supported by the Constitution and Cooperatives Law; Associations, foundations and cooperatives were subjected to strict rules and controls in order to prevent abuses, since these structures are open to all kinds of abuse due to acts contrary to the purpose and philosophy of the establishment by hiding behind this purpose; In the absence of any procedure or in the face of abuse, very serious fines and prison sentences have been imposed by the legislator for the managers of associations, foundations or cooperatives. The establishment of these legal entities, their functioning, the length of the legal procedure and process in their establishment, the multiplicity and complex structures of the laws they are obliged to comply with, and the fact that they are subject to strict control, and also, according to the Attorneyship Law, building cooperatives with one hundred or more members must have a contracted lawyer. We strongly recommend that Associations, Foundations and Cooperatives work with a law firm specialized in the law of associations, foundations and cooperatives or a lawyer specialized in Associations, Foundations and Cooperatives, and get support.
