Turkey's New Sultan
The Week Middle East
|April 22, 2017
Controversy of the week.
-
Democracy, as Turkey’s President Erdogan once famously remarked, “is like a train; once you reach your destination, you get off”. And this Sunday, Erdogan got off the train, said Douglas Murray in The Spectator. His slender victory in the referendum means that the secular republic founded by Kemal Atatürk in 1923 “has been snuffed out”. Turkey as we know it “is history”, said Yavuz Baydar in The Guardian. Erdogan now has a mandate to amend the constitution. By 2019, the office of the prime minister will be abolished; the president (Erdogan) will have sole prerogative to appoint senior bureaucrats and 12 of the top court’s 15 judges, to issue decrees with the force of law, and to exercise even more control of the armed forces. Turkey, said The Independent, has become an “elective dictatorship”. It has seceded from the democratic world.
