Continues against Turkey: Is or is not entitled to come to Erdogan elections?

The chairman of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Mustafa Sentop argued that it is legitimate to put the president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s candidacy for president at the next election: “The president has no problem with the issue of candidature for the third time. An article will publish this matter, “said Sentop during a press conference on 7 February.

“There is no legal dispute. There are two candidacies [του Ερντογάν], Not three. I can say that discussions are due to lack of information “, the Şentop said.

The debate has started and the government and the opposition argue either that Erdogan should or they should not come to the elections, based on their own interpretation of the law. Erdogan became president for the first time in the elections of 2014. He later took office as the first president of the new system in the elections of June 2018. With the new system, in accordance with Article 101 of the Constitution, a person can be elected president more than two times.

The five-year term of Erdogan expires in June 2023 and continued debate about whether it could be a candidate again.

The opposition considers that the previous term Erdogan should measure, of course, Erdoganics argue that after changing the system, it changes the … Timer.

The amazing thing is that a change in the Turkish Constitution on this issue needs the votes of a majority of two thirds in parliament (400 MPs), which as it is the state of the ruling coalition, the AKP and MHP fails to achieve.

The leader of the Gray Wolves, Devlet Bahceli and leader of the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) from the ruling coalition, acting once again as a “hare” Erdogan also said that there is no obstacle for the Turkish president to be a candidate again: “If this deliberate and unfounded debate broadened will not avoid to fulfill our responsibilities, we will not hesitate, will not step back. we will do our best to make the necessary legal arrangements that the president be elected for at least three terms and will succeed, “said Bahceli on February 7 at the party meeting, showing that there are brazenly bypass thoughts somehow the parliamentary vote.

Previously, the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) of the main opposition party, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said it would not oppose the candidacy of Erdogan: “If he wants to be a candidate, let him come, the nation will give answers. These discussions should stay back now. If others disagree, we can not tell them anything, “he said in a live broadcast of the TV100 February 4, causing the ranks of questions antierntoganikon voters.
