Abstract :
Article 3 of The Public Officers Law numbered 657 stipulates that concept such as merit as the main principal. Albeit the fact that principle exist in the Public Officers Law bring noticeable gain to the Turkish public personnel regime, it is worth mentioning that it has been underutilized due to reasons such as insufficient relevance, lack of implementation or appreciation. At this very point comes up the concept of Exceptional Positions. This concept referred to in another article of the Public Officers Law -Article 59- no 657 is almost diametrically opposed to the merit principle creating a contradiction in the Law itself. The merit principle, on one hand, concentrates on prioritizing the competent and qualified, but makes it possible also for the unqualified to find a place for himself/herself in the forefront thanks to exceptional positions. Therefore, it has been mentioned as basically on relationship with the exceptional positions of favoritism in the study.
