Erdogan: Proposes to change the electoral law he had changed – Opposition: Wants to be president for life

“The 50%+1 should not apply, but the first to win in votes – Preparations for changes to the Constitution for re-election of the president without any limits”

“Erdoğan’s proposal on the issue of 50%+1 is one of the hottest current affairs. President Erdoğan stated that this particular system leads the parties down the wrong paths. You don’t know who’s with who and he suggested abolishing the 50%+1 system.”

Devlet Bakhceli, president of the Nationalist Action party, said: “The legalization of this system is 50%+1. However, if there are issues of the presidential system that present problems, these can be discussed.”

Erdogan: Wherever the Turks passed, they remember us with longing and affection

“We will not turn our backs on the oppressed. We care in the Balkans, the Caucasus and our expatriates in the Turkish president – Those who try to limit Turkey to its borders do not have benevolent intentions”

Erdogan said: “Those who are trying to close Turkey in on itself and confine it to its borders certainly do not have benevolent intentions. Lumben fascism, which has recently been fueled by elements of the 5th phalanx, is one of the biggest obstacles in the way for a great and strong Turkey.

Of course, we will not turn our backs on the oppressed and suffering geographies. Since we take care of the Balkans, the Caucasus and our expatriates in the Turkish world, in the same way we should worry about our brothers and sisters in Gaza who are dying from the barbaric attacks of Israel.

In every visit we see the following.. Turkey means a quiet nest that will protect you in difficult times. While the Turk, he is the one they long for and wait for. Wherever there are traces of his footsteps, he is remembered with longing and affection. With the historical responsibility we have, we will either find a way, or we will open a way. But we will not be one of those who live on the street”.
