168 of the TCK. during the regulation of the article, it was wanted to prevent possible hesitations by adding the phrase “the perpetrator, the instigator or the helper must personally show remorse and fully repair the damage suffered by the victim by giving back or compensation in kind” to the article. Because the phrase “showing regret in person” mentioned in the text is a clear indication that the regulation attaches importance not to “return and compensation alone”, but to “return and compensation as a result of regret”. As a matter of fact, during the negotiations on the article mentioned in the Commission of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, the issue was raised and the chairman of the session; “Is it not important to eliminate the damage”, Izzet Özgenç, one of the academics responsible for the preparation of the law;“the joke protected by this article is not only to eliminate the victim’s grievance, but also to make the person feel remorse”, he answered.
