LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN TURKISH PUBLIC SERVICE

Summary/Abstract: Although conflict of interest does not necessarily mean corruption, there is a strong relationship between these concepts. Especially, an undue influence of the public official taking advantage of his/her public position may result in corruption anyway. Public officials are expected to perform their public duties fairly and impartially and with special emphasis on public interest. This is also a requirement of open, trans parent and accountable government. Contrarily, trust in public institutions is eroded and democratic system does not function effectively and efficiently. In other words, undue acts in public service may cause systemic problems, too. This paper first summarizes the survey results on corruption and then provides a constitutional – legal overview of conflict of interest in Turkey (for a detailed study see Ömer Faruk Gençkaya, Conflict of Interest, Ethics for the Prevention of Corruption in Turkey, Academic Research Report, COEEU, 2009).
