The opposition believes that Erdogan is not entitled to be a candidate for three terms, because he violates the Constitution
O Recep Tayyip Erdogan argued on Saturday that he is entitled to a third presidential bid, citing the 2017 Constitution, while sharply attacking the opposition. The opposition believes that Erdogan is not entitled to be a candidate for three terms, because he violates the Constitution.
“The Constitution which was approved in 2017 by the people themselves is clear, and there is no debate. Turkey in 2018 switched to a new system of government, so the timer reset! So, legally, practically, the president elected in 2018 is the first president of the new system,” Erdogan said according to SKAI’s Istanbul correspondent Manolis Kostidis.
“From America even in Europe you look into the eyes of those who are disturbed by the increase in the area of ​​influence of Turkey and you do not find what you want. The only thing they didn’t look at was the people. The eyes of the people, the desire of the people!” Erdogan still commented, attacking the West.
By moving the election date a month earlier, the Turkish leader sought to circumvent an article in the constitution that states a Turkish national can be elected president for a maximum of two terms.
