Erdogan’s plan to unify the forces in Türkiye and warn the opposition
Opponents say that, in addition to the executive branch, Erdogan has taken over both the legislative and judicial branches and will destroy the principle of separation of powers in Turkey with the new reforms. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency, a fight over an issue Political and legal issues are very sensitive in Turkey. The story is that the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, asked the parliament to conduct the necessary investigations to limit the powers of the Constitutional Court.
Turkey actually has a high position which is a combination of the Guardian Council of the Constitution and the Supreme Court of the country. For this reason, the opponents say that, in addition to the executive branch, Erdogan has taken over both the legislative and judicial branches and will destroy the principle of separation of powers with the new reforms.
Since the head of this court and most of its senior judges have still resisted Erdogan’s illegal requests and maintained their independence, they are now facing an unprecedented attack.
According to lawyers, if the powers of the Constitutional Court are amended and limited by the order of the Parliament, the Republic of Turkey will lose its last bastion of law and democracy, and Erdogan will reach the peak of power on the path of totalitarianism and authoritarianism. will arrive.
Actioner: Erdogan come to his senses
Erdogan’s attempt to weaken the Constitutional Court met with a sharp reaction from the heads of Turkish political parties. The judiciary, which is responsible for enforcing the rule of law, has begun to fight against the law in a serious way. I take this crisis very seriously. I believe this is a governmental crisis, not a constitutional crisis. The government seeks to destroy the rule of law and challenge the credibility and authority of the parliament. We consider this very dangerous. If Mr. Erdoğan continues to fight against the infrastructure of the constitution, he has committed the biggest mistake of his life. He should withdraw from this decision as soon as possible. Because the consequences are very dangerous and there will be no law left in the country. Erdogan and his advisers must come to their senses. Constitutional changes can be made in this country. There are various suggestions in this regard that if our nation accepts, the constitutional amendments will be made by holding a referendum. But if you suspend the current constitution, if you ignore the provisions of the existing constitution, no rules and regulations will remain. When I look at this behavior of Erdogan as a historian, I say to myself, I hope history does not repeat itself in our country”. https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1401/06/04/1401060412000637525962854.jpg”/>
Ahmed Davutoglu, leader of the Future Party and former Prime Minister Turkey also announced that in 2018, it was precisely because of the fear of such behavior that it put its resignation on the table and separated from Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party.
Erdogan started the fight and then withdrew
A few days ago, even several Famous politicians and lawyers of the Justice and Development Party considered the action of the third branch of the court in ignoring the ruling of the Constitutional Court dangerous and considered it as a real coup. But Erdoğan , considered the opinion of his friends to be wrong and announced that the Constitutional Court has many mistakes and this court should be restrained by using the powers of the Parliament!
When criticizing this illegal speech Erdoğan picked up, he moderated his reaction and said: “With all this work and plans, I really don’t feel like getting into these fights.” Parliament and other institutions will do whatever is necessary.” With this political speech, Erdogan threw the ball in the Minister of Justice’s court to make him comment.
After the publication of Erdogan’s words, Minister of Justice Yilmaz Tunç addressed the opponents and critics and announced: “Now that there is a problem and dispute between the two judicial courts, we are practically in a legal deadlock.” Should we solve this problem or not? Do you want us to close our eyes to this situation? It has nothing to do. Now that the existing law is not the answer, we will solve the problem in the parliament”.
This speech of the Minister of Justice met with the attack and sharp reaction of the lawyers and made him a politician and unquestioning obedience. And why did they accuse Erdogan? Because contrary to the minister’s claim, based on the clear text of the law, the “Constitutional Court” itself is the highest and most competent authority to resolve all legal opinion disputes and judicial procedure disputes, and the law says: “Wherever there is an interpretation of a legal issue , if a problem or dispute arises, the final verdict of the Constitutional Court is binding for everyone and no person or institution has the right to oppose the decision and interpretation of this Supreme Court”.
However, the evidence shows that Erdoğan does not intend to fall short, and his partner Dolat Baghçeli has also sent the leader of the far-right National Movement party to the field.
Pari of the Independent Constitutional Court has commented as follows: “I am afraid that this court, soon and continuing its strange procedure, will even favor Murad Garaylan, the commander of the PKK terrorist group, and Fethullah Gulen.” The coup plotter should also vote! The parliament should solve this problem”.
Baghcheli spoke these harsh words in a situation where he was pointing his ring at the photographers. A ring on which this harsh phrase is engraved: “He who does not live boldly, will die captive”.
According to the opposition, he can use the legislature as a signature machine and pass any law he wants.
The Justice and Development Party led by Erdogan has 264 seats.
The National Movement Party, Erdogan’s partner, has 50 seats.
Erdoğan’s Prosperity Party has 5 seats.
Har Dava partisan party or Hadapar has 4 seats.
In this way, 323 seats in the parliament. With a hint, Erdogan passes every plan and bill through the approval of the public forum, and other parties cannot take any specific action. “https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1402/08/23/1402082315325788628767274.jpg”/>
In closing, it looks like this that the concerns and warnings of Turkish lawyers and politicians, who wanted the Turkish political system not to change in 2018, are now clearly understandable.
They believed that if the system changes A parliament led by the presidency, the parliament practically loses its power and position, and the president, with a world of broad and unsupervised powers, destroys the principle of separation of powers.
Now, this prediction has come true and Turkey, right on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the republic, is on a path where the legislative and judicial powers actually lose their independence.
