Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday his ruling AK Party and its nationalist allies may start work on drafting a new constitution, less than four years after overhauling the previous constitution to grant his office sweeping powers.

Erdogan was elected president under the new system in 2018, with sweeping executive powers that opposition parties described as a “one-man regime”. The AKP and their Nationalist Movement Party allies have defended the system, saying it created a streamlined state apparatus. “No matter how much we change, it is not possible to erase the signs of coup and tutelage that have been inserted into the spirit of the constitution”, he said, adding he was upset that previous such attempts had foundered over the main opposition’s “uncompromising stance”.

Bahceli has long been a fierce critic of the HDP and, like Erdogan, accuses it of links to Kurdistan Workers Party militants who have fought a 36-year-old insurgency in southeast Turkey. The HDP denies this.

Not a bad idea. US naively acts like a 244 year old document is perfect and the answer to all of our modern problems. Only 27 amendments since 1789? Incredibly ridiculous. They fucked up making it so hard to add ammendments. It's why our country lags behind most metrics
