The proposed constitutional amendments seek to transform Turkey’s political system into an executive presidential one.
Istanbul, Turkey – Vehicles of rival campaigns wander the streets of Istanbul as they blast their propaganda songs calling on Turkey’s citizens to vote on their side in the upcoming referendum on April 16.
Only days left to the key vote, “Yes” and “No” camps campaign at full speed in the 15 million megalopolis in a last ditch effort to convince Turks before they vote to accept or reject the proposed constitutional changes that might deeply change how Turkey is governed.
The proposed constitutional amendments seek to transform Turkey’s political system into an executive presidential one, significantly empowering the top office, while abolishing the prime ministry, which holds the main executive power in the current system as the head of the cabinet.
