"Türkiye has the strength and maturity to make a new, civilian constitution"

Presidency of The Republic of Turkey

27.05.2024

Speaking at the Century of Türkiye Constitution Symposium, President Erdoğan said: "That the centenary of our Republic is being observed with a post-coup constitution is already a source of embarrassment for the political establishment. We can no longer inflict this shame on our nation just because otherwise some circles would be disturbed. Today the Turkish democracy has the strength and maturity to cross the threshold of making a new and civilian constitution."

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a speech at a symposium held in the Democracy and Liberties Island on the Century of Türkiye Constitution, Civilian Constitution Strong Türkiye.

"IT IS A NATIONAL DUTY FOR THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT TO MAKE A NEW CONSTITUTION"

Underscoring that it is impossible for Türkiye continue its path with the current constitution, framework of which was drawn by putschists, President Erdoğan said: "That the centenary of our Republic is being observed with a post-coup constitution is already a source of embarrassment for the political establishment. We can no longer inflict this shame on our nation just because otherwise some circles would be disturbed. Today the Turkish democracy has the strength and maturity to cross the threshold of making a new and civilian constitution. I believe that it is a national duty for the political establishment to make a new constitution in the current 28th Legislative Term. As a government that has introduced the greatest victories of democracy in Türkiye, we will preserve our constructive and conciliatory attitude till the end. And, I suppose that our counterparts in the opposition will not be insistent, either, on imposing the post-coup constitution on our country."

"WE WILL DO OUR BEST IN ORDER FOR THESE INHUMAN MURDERERS TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT"

Drawing attention to the Istanbul Second Bar Association's efforts aimed at bringing the perpetrators of the genocide carried out in Gaza to account, President Erdoğan added: "We saw once again last night how important and humanitarian your efforts are. The genocidal murderers, who have martyrized our over 36 thousand Palestinian brothers and sisters so far, dropped missiles and bombs over civilians at a refugee camp last night in Rafah, which they have announced a safe zone. This massacre, which took place following the International Justice Court's ruling that 'the attacks must be halted', has once again revealed the bloody and cowardly face of the terror state. As Netanyahu and his gang of murderers cannot break the gallant resistance of the Palestinian people, they are further cornered in their country and seek to extend their political life by shedding more blood. However, he will soon see that it will do no good. They will not be able to avoid being remembered with condemnation just like Hitler, Milosevic, Karadzic and other tyrants, whom he envies, in history. We as Türkiye will do our best in order for these inhuman murderers, these barbarians to be held to account. May my Lord help the Palestinian people and our Gazan brothers and sisters."
