9:26 pm
foreign policy studies at the think tank in turkey is also formally a turkish diplomat earlier i spoke to him on skype i asked him first about the real power that the new m.p.'s will have. compared to the previous constitutional order which was a parliamentary democracy the role of parliament is indeed greatly diminished however it still has a role in terms of the the body that will legislate but you know where it is going to be a core legislative issue and not the unique legislative given that the president will also have powers to almost legislate by way of presidential decrees so in that sense the role will be will be greatly diminished for the new part i'm usually in any parliamentary system around the world where the go to destination is democracy there is a system of checks and balances in place in play all the time do they have that at
9:27 pm
their disposal well the concern with this new constitutional setup is indeed that it is going to lead to a weakened checks and balances already in turkey the constitutional checks and balances was relatively weak compared to more liberal democracies around the world but now the concern is indeed that even the remaining checks and balances will be weakened and that's something that the new constitutional order must obviously address and that there is going to be definitely a role for the political players in parliament to be able to to address this this shortcoming if your country is now entering a period of i guess karma politics what's the direction of travel in your mind you think for most of the new legislation that we may see coming in the coming months perhaps years i mean does it come from the m.p.'s from the bottom upwards or does
9:28 pm
it come from the president downwards and they have to simply rubber stamp whatever he wants to do. well the expectation now with this is. the centralization of power that is a key component of this new system is that the presidency will also be in a great deal in responsible for driving the political agenda of the country including a number of different and they just slipped of efforts either by way of a presidential decrease or even if it has to go to parliament then then the president will seek the support of parliament in order to legislate his own party as you have stated a few minutes ago has not fallen short of a parliamentary majority and therefore. president are going will need to rely on
