The red queen effect expresses the synergy created by simultaneously strengthening power of the state and individual freedoms. In developed societies, it is observed that both the power of the state and the institutional ways to protect the civic rights to balance that power developed simultaneously. The Ombudsman Institution of Turkey (KDK), established in 2012, created a new opportunity for citizens thinking that they have experienced violations of rights by public institutions. Inspection, internal audit, disciplinary investigation, and judicial reviews are used in controlling the public employees for their compliance with the relevant legislation. There are also decisions the employees make by the use of their discretionary power. The purpose of recognizing discretionary power is to enable public officials to reflect their knowledge, skills, and experience to their actions and decisions in the best possible way. Having high authority and responsibility requires high discretionary power. On the other hand, whether discretion is exercised appropriately is not subject to disciplinary or judicial control. Media control is effective in this regard. The Turkish Ombudsman Institution examines the complaints about whether the discretionary power is exercised properly and transmits the results to the relevant public institutions in the form of a non-binding recommendation. This advisory feature of its decisions is unique in the state system for keeping the scope of discretionary power broad and providing additional options and guidance to those who exercise this power.
