Having been on the Turkish agenda for
long years, finally the purposed constitutional amendment including some of the
articles has been approved by the Turkish people with a referendum held 16th
April.
Thus, a new white page has been opened in
front of the country.
So, the two-headed administration - which
involved President and Prime Minister System that has been in the force for
decades in the country - was ended.
The new system will be completely entering
into force in 2019.
Previously the constitutional amendment had
been brought on the agenda via civil presidents from time to time, but it was
remained unresolved.
The reason of constitutional amendment principally
was to be removed the two-headed governing system. Because of decision making
processes could not advance swiftly.
In order to solve this hindrance, remedy
was to change at least some of the articles of the constitution.
Despite suggestion and drafts have been
prepared and offered to the Grand National Assembly for making the amendment,
somehow success was not obtained until this verdict of Turkey’s grand national
assembly.
But this time, the efforts of the ruling
party achieved to get rid of a bulky system.
With this new system no longer the country
will face coalition governments.
So, stability management system will be
in the force.
Checks and balances system will be justly
in implementation.
In accordance with this new system, as
soon as one of the presidential candidates is won the election, the winning
president will also constitute the council of ministers out of the grant
national assembly.
This new
governing system will also attract more foreign direct investment.
From now on investors will trust more in
our country to make investment regrading
stability.
Thanks to this new administration system the
gears of economy will work better without facing any hindrance.
Production, distribution and consumption
chain will also operate in a stabile way.
Solving this crucial problem Ak Party has played important role
regarding experiencing the old system
handicapped.
Having been in the
office as a single party advantage since 2002, ruling Ak Party has brought
radical solutions in other issues as well.
Its decisive stance has played positive
role in overcoming the challenges arisen both from the home and abroad to date.
Nearly 15 years ago existing high inflation
and interest rates and other economic troubles in the country have been solved pretty much through in its period.
Meanwhile, per capita income has risen
over threefold.
The country exports have also surged over
fourfold.
In this period, huge investments were
made and entered into force. We believe that positive developments will
increasingly boost with this new system more. Regarding these positive acquisitions most of the Turkish
people have approved this new system.
