Legal history

A group of Californians has submitted yet another initiative to secede from the United States as the country is gripped by one of its worst political crisis in recent history.

Constitutions say that judiciaries are independent and impartial, and nobody can order or give instructions to them. Our constitution rules this too

The oath taken by women police cadets at the Police Training Center (POMEM) in the Central Anatolian province of Yozgat has been raised in a parliamentary question by main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Zeynep Altıok. I watched the oath-taking ceremony on YouTube. Not only in Yozgat, but in other police training centers, there are videos of the same oath being taken. 

Today marks 138 years since the adoption of the Tarnovo Constitution. On April  16 1879 the Constituent Assembly in the city Veliko Tarnovo, Central Northern Bulgaria, adopted the first basic law of the Principality of Bulgaria formed after the country's liberation from Turkish rule in 1878, quoted by BNR.

The excessiveness of arrangements and discharges conducted with state of emergency decrees is drawing more criticism. The government was granted this opportunity by Constitutional Court decision number 2016/159. 

The General Secretariat of Public Revenues has requested clarifications from the Council of State, the country's highest administrative court, regarding the statute of limitations on probes into wealthy Greeks with bank deposits abroad.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has submitted a 21-article constitutional amendment proposal that will usher in an executive presidential system with vastly enhanced powers for the head of state following an agreement between the government and the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) took the statutory decrees (KHK) that were issued during the state of emergency to court, but the Constitutional Court rejected the case. I was waiting for the justified decision to be printed to criticize the decision. 

The new constitution being written by the ruling party will bring about a new definition for the role of the entire judiciary, including the Constitutional Court, the Turkish prime minister has said, adding they wouldn't allow any constitutional body to establish superiority over the will of the people.  

The prime minister said they were preparing a road map for the writing of a new constitution. All the successful constitutions in the history of democracy have been written through consensus. Unfortunately, this has not happened in our country. 

Now, there is nothing to be said about the government's submitting its own draft to the parliament.
