The presidential system is the worst of the four main types of democracy. But no matter what system a nation may have, the greater the amount of power in the hands of the president, the more the nation is likely to have problems. Turkey is in dire need of constitutional reform. The president should be limited to one 5-year term of office, with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards. Turkey’s president is in violation of Article 6 of the Constitution: sovereignty lies wholly and unconditionally in the hands of the people. No state or sovereign has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

At the same time, a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet should be implemented. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
