A new constitution has already been drafted

9 April 2012 /TAHA KIVANÇ
People are very anxious about how Turkey’s hot issues such as the relationship between the government and the military, bias in the judiciary and the Kurdish issue will be dealt with in the new constitution that Turkey is working on.

However, a friend of mine recently told me, “No need to worry, the government has already signaled how it will deal with these three issues.” He explained: Firstly, separate visits by the prime minister and president to the War Academies Command military school, and their speeches at the school arguing that politics and military should be separated, have addressed the conflict between civilians and the military. Secondly, Constitutional Court President Haşim Kılıç’s speech on the necessity of purging all judges of ideological pressure and partisanship has alleviated the concerns over the Turkish judiciary. Finally, a new strategy the government has adopted in its bid to solve the Kurdish issue indicated that the government is going to expend more effort on this problem as well.
