GREATER POWER BUT LESS RESTRAINT AS TURKEY'S NEW CONSTITUTION LETS THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN ERDOGAN CALL ALL OF THE SHOTS!!
Among other changes, the referendum approved by Turkish citizens on Sunday grants President Erdoğan the power to elect senior members in his administration and the Supreme Court, do away with the prime ministership and allow him to remain in power until 2029.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won a historic referendum Sunday that will greatly expand the powers of his office, although opposition parties questioned the outcome and said they would challenge the results.With nearly all ballots counted, the "yes" vote stood at 51.41 percent, while the "no" vote was 48.59 percent, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. The head of Turkey's electoral board confirmed the "yes" victory and said final results would be declared in 11-12 days. Turkey's current constitution was adopted in 1982 after a military coup two years earlier. The new constitution, approved on Sunday, is to include 18 changes that will affect the lives of Turkey's 79 million citizens.
