Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Tuesday said the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party would soon be submitting a bill for a new constitution and presidential system.
“We will submit a proposal including new constitutional amendments and presidential system to the parliament as soon as possible” he told his party’s parliamentary group meeting, adding the final decision belonged to the parliament.
Yildirim also commented on the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli’s Tuesday remarks giving green light to a referendum for a constitutional change and shift to the presidential system, saying they were truly spoken words, and Bahceli was "on the right path."
