Kemal Kilicdaroglu

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said that uncontrolled power brings disaster, as he commented on the April 16 referendum that will decide whether the current parliamentary system should be shifted into an executive presidency.

Turkey's decision to end Euphrates Shield Operation is the right step, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said, adding that he has long been advising the government not to go further south into Syria at the expense of more martyrs.

Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım on March 30 said the current parliamentary system "cannot keep pace with Turkey's economic growth," necessitating the shift to an executive presidential system.

The president will be able to annul the parliament if the referendum results prevail a "yes" vote, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said, amid debates over whether the charter change could hand enhanced powers to the president to abolish the parliament, Doğan News Agency has reported.

Turkish society is divided right down the middle as the country heads to a referendum on April 16 to decide on whether to replace the current parliamentary system with one with an executive presidency. According to the latest polls, half of the voters are on the "yes" front, while the other half is firmly "no," with tensions between the two camps rising every day. 

The main opposition is acting along with terrorist groups in saying "no" to the constitutional amendments that will be voted on in an April 16 referendum, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, accusing Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu of lying in his arguments against the charter. 

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has responded positively to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's unplanned visit to the campaign pavilion of the opposition party, saying he hopes Erdoğan will have changed his contention that naysayers are terrorists. 

Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has once again slammed the opposition for arguing against the constitutional amendment to be voted in a referendum on April 16. 

The new system that may be brought by charter change will allow the president to annul the parliament, form a cabinet and be free from a confidence vote, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said. 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu of "running away" during Turkey's failed July 2016 coup attempt, instead of lending him sufficient support.
