In 1926, the Italian Criminal Code of 1889 was adopted in Turkey.
It was reformed to European standards in 2004. In the same year, the Turkish Commercial Code, which to a great extent was modelled on the German code, was also accepted. The Civil Procedure Code of 1925 from the Swiss Canton of Neuchâtel was codified by Turkish legislation in 1927 and is still in force, in spite of numerous amendments.The same can be said for the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law that was also adopted from Neuchâtel in 1927. In the same year, the German Criminal Procedure Code was also translated into Turkish and codified with only a few changes.
