Turkey’s Erdogan approves voting on powerful presidency – Los Angeles Times

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday approved holding a national referendum on constitutional reforms that would usher in a powerful presidency, a change he has strongly advocated.

Erdogan signed off on the bill, paving the way for the country's electoral board to set a date for the referendum.

The bill envisions granting the office of the presidency currently a largely ceremonial position the power to appoint government ministers and senior officials, dissolve parliament, declare states of emergency, issue decrees and appoint half of the members in the country's highest judicial body. Parliament had approved the reform package in hotly, and at times violently, debated sessions last month.

The proposed changes were backed by a majority of lawmakers in the assembly but failed to clear the threshold needed to come into force without a public vote.

Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said the referendum was likely to be held April 26.

I believe that [the reforms] will receive a large amount of yes votes, and we will move to a more healthy model of administration, Kurtulmus said.

A change to the presidential system would be a crowning achievement for Erdogan, who has outmaneuvered and crushed all his major foes.

Critics say it would concentrate even more power in the hands of a leader they accuse of authoritarian behavior with little tolerance for dissent.

Campaigning for and against the reforms has begun with supporters of the bill having the upper hand and dominating air time.

Opponents of the bill complain that they cannot get their views across to the public in a country where most opposition media has been silenced.

ANKARA

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Saturday discussed the fight against terrorism and the situation in Syria, according to a statement issued by the presidential spokesman.

Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin's statement came after Erdogan met Guterres in Istanbul on Saturday.

Kalin said Guterres had thanked the Turkish government for its outstanding generosity in hosting millions of refugees from Syria and Iraq.

During the meeting, Erdogan and the secretary general discussed the situation in Syria and the ongoing diplomatic efforts towards ending the conflict. Guterres emphasized that Turkey was a key country for a solution to the Syrian crisis, Kalin added.

The UN also released an official statement to share details of the meeting.

The Secretary General was grateful that the Astana conference was held in support of the Geneva process. The Secretary General underscored the need to fight terrorism and extremists in Syria but [added] that effort would not be successful without a political solution supported by the people of country, the UN statement said.

A January meeting in Astana saw Russia, Turkey and Iran agree to a trilateral mechanism for observing and ensuring compliance with a cease-fire that came into effect on Dec. 30. Representatives of the Syrian government and armed opposition groups also attended the meeting.

Saturday marked the last of a two-day visit for Guterres, his first in Turkey as head of the UN. He met Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Friday.
