June 2015 Justice and Development Party election campaign

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has rejected calls by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to join the ruling party's efforts to write a brand new civilian constitution unless the amendment envisages shifting back to the strengthened parliamentary system.

Turkey may embrace its first civilian constitution until the end of this legislative year should a consensus between all political parties agree on the draft, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, calling on the opposition alliance to work and prepare their own version of the charter.

The Turkish Parliament will return from its summer recess on Oct. 1 with the opening speech by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) will be ready to publicize its drafted brand-new charter in the first months of 2022, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said while repeating his call on all political parties to do the same in a bid to create a joint blueprint.
