Altai Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Tomarrow a public vote is going to be done in Turkiye to change the constitution. Turkish people are going to vote to approve or disapprove the change. If the constitution will be approved, Turkiye's state management style will change and it will be evolved from "Parliamentary System" to "Presidency System". "Presidency System" is expected to remove obstacles on decision and progress mechanism of the state jobs which is preventing Turkiye to develop much faster. With the news constitution, Turkiye is expected to step always further instead of two step further and one steps backward because of the Western backed government opponent parties. Almost all Western countries and terror organizations are trying their best for voting to be concluded with the victory of "NO" for a change. http://bit.ly/2oL2c2m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Regardless of what the West would like to see, more power to the president will hurt the Turkish people. It's not healthy for a society use the excuse of "Western backed" opposition parties or "Western backed media" as a reason to muzzle and control how to make decisions and who can broadcast information.

Ash74 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 This is a country that throws people in jail for insulting the President. We all would have been charged if it was illegal to insult a Prime Minister or U.S. President. We have that freedom. If the President of Turkey is so sensitive towards petty insults how can he be trusted with more power? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmy Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 It looks like Erdogan is set to win handily. Turkey looks poised to dump parlimentary system in favor of the strongman system favored by her primitive neighbors. "Progress." -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever your country chooses, I hope it will work out well for you. Only your country can decide what is best for you. Today is Easter and the sun shining this morning. This is a very important day in the christian calender that we personally are celebrating with church this morning and a special dinner later today.

In my country, insult is not accepted as a part of freedom of speech for the same reason why its not also accepted as a part of freedom of speech in this forum.

I suppose you could sue me in civil court, but I don't think the RCMP will have much enthusiasm for arresting me if you reported me for it. I should make it clear I would not insult you, but I do have the right. Go down to the Jays game this afternoon and see what happens when the Ump blows a call. The jails aren't big enough.

Are we agree that human beings are creatures with feelings and they will feel bad when they have been insulted ? If we are agree in this part, you legally have no right to harm another person. If you have a problem with me, you need to go to a court with your proofs and evidences. You dont have right to harm me just because of you dont like me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I tell you your driving stinks and you are an idiot after you cut me off in traffic your feelings might be hurt but I doubt I would do time for it. The fact is we have a basic difference of opinion. To me, the right to freedom of speech trumps the right to not be offended. To you, it does not. Luckily, we each live in a country where we get our own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have various attempts at democracy, but nothing really true in the sense of the word. To be honest I prefer the Republic approach and I would want a vote rate of 70% in order to pass big laws. Turkey is moving away from democracy when it decides to put more power in the President's hands. That has been proven time and time and time again.

These insult laws are usually applied for deliberate personal attacks Anyone could insult in traffic when they face with a mistake, its a momentary reaction and is not planned or deliberate personal attack. These kind of details are not written in the constitution and it should be written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we dont apply anything different than many countries who claims of being democratic applies. I have ideas about this issue and actually you could make some estimates about my idea if you read my "There is nothing to discuss" topic.

Look at how freedom of speech is on a downhill in Turkey. Again, I understand the West's constant meddling in other countries, but you also lose when you take away freedom from people. The best way to tackle outside corruption and influence is through educating the masses and creating an environment where people trust the government and the authorities instead of fearing them. The more you squeeze the people and take away their freedoms, the higher the chances of the influence of the outside groups becoming successful.
