High Advisory Board Meeting Discusses Preparations for New Constitution
The Presidential High Advisory Board recently met under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss important topics related to the political landscape in Turkey. The discussions centered around the local election results and the pressing need for a new constitution in the country.
During the meeting, 7 board members shared their thoughts, but it was noted that there was no comprehensive exchange of views on the new constitution. While it was recognized that Turkey is in need of a new constitution, the challenges in achieving this goal were also highlighted.
Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş has been conducting visits to all political parties in Parliament to gather their perspectives on the constitutional amendment. The outcomes of these visits are expected to provide clarity on the parties’ attitudes towards the new constitution.
Former Parliament Speaker and YİK Member Cemil Çiçek emphasized the importance of making decisive steps towards a new constitution. He mentioned that despite the inclusion of constitutional amendments in election manifestos, progress has been limited. Çiçek emphasized the complexities involved in changing the constitution and urged a realistic approach to the process.
The attitudes of political parties, such as MHP and CHP, towards the new constitution process are being closely observed. The issue of restructuring the judiciary is expected to be a key point of contention and consensus-building among parties during the constitutional amendment discussions.
As the discussions continue and party leaders express their views, the process towards a new constitution in Turkey remains a topic of great interest and importance for the political establishment. The outcome of these deliberations will shape the future direction of the country’s governance and legal framework.
