Erdogan says he will run for president anymore, requires new constitution, opposition: Not that you don't, but you can't.

According to Turkish media, in statements issued during a return flight from a summit in Budapest, Erdogan has said the “needed the new constitution,” not for it, but for the country.

We want a new constitution, not for ourselves, but for our country. I have no problem re-elected or being a candidate again. What concerns us is how to further enhance our country's dignity and reputation in the international arena,” reportedly the Turkish president has expressed itself.

Meanwhile, a sharp reaction has come from the opposition, where the deputy chairman of the CHP parliamentary group, Ali Mahir Basarir, has responded to Erdogan's statements on the constitution, saying he can no longer become president because of the constitutional changes he himself has made, so Sçka is showing why he's doing “in favor of”.

Saying I'm not going to be a candidate anymore, it's not doing us any favors. Under the constitution that you yourself have drafted, you no longer have the right to run. So you can't be a candidate anymore. We said there was a choice in November, to save this place and the people breathe, but you won't let that happen. Then it is clear that you will no longer be a candidate, and the new constitution will make deputies of the new majority, who will be out of the next election,”, Basarir has said.

Recent statements by Turkish politicians once again restore the debate on constitutional restrictions for the presidential mandate and the real goal of the initiative to amend the constitution in Turkey. /Periscope/
