The head of the Turkish state, according to the prestigious British daily, is unlikely to lose these elections, which will make Ataturk more powerful than.
In this regard, Erdogan writes “The Guardian” does not differ from Russia's Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fatah al-Sisi of Egypt. Their common idea of democracy can be summed up in this simple expression: “you vote, I win”.
With its statement a day earlier, the Turkish president indicated that presidential and parliamentary elections would be held more than a year before the deadline, with the goal of accelerating the transition to an executive-powered presidency.
Such a move, he reasoned with the face of the many challenges posed to the country. The elections will be held on 24 June of this year and not in November 2019.
“Although the president and the government are working in unity, the diseases of the old system represent us in every step we take”, Erdogan said in a televised speech.
Turkey is currently moving from a parliamentary system to that president, which will boost the president's competencies. Erdogan won a referendum with a narrow result last year to amend the constitution and establish an executive presidency, whose expanded power will take effect after the June elections.
