Turkey is a country which is rich in culture and history. It is also called
one of the few modern states that practices Islam, yet also has an established democratic system. This democracy, however, is flawed due to non-involvement from the
masses. The country currently needs a new constitution, which was promised by
the government that was re-elected on November 1st, 2015, ever since its rise to
power on November 3rd, 2002. It seems that a new constitution which will eliminate
the imbalance between state elites such as bureaucrats, high military officers and
academics vs. the nation. In conclusion, the author recommends that in any case, that
the new constitution should lead to the participation of the public before and after
political events which take place in the administration of the country.
