April 16th, Turkey held a referendum that could be said to have completely change the fate of the country.
Topic of the Referendum
"Do you agree to change the country's system, so that the president, not the parliament has the highest power? "
"In another word, do you agree to let Turkey change into a "presidential" country from a "parliamentary" country?"
As a result, people who supported institutional revolution won the referendum by a tiny margin. Undoubtedly, the biggest winner is the current Turkey's President, Erdogan, who promoted the referendum.
From now on, Erdogan, who was almost a footballer in that year, will become the most powerful man of this Muslim Country, and he will replace the parliament as the one who can appoint the important judges and ministers of the country directly.
The outside world is also widely predicted that he will seize his new supreme power until 2029!
And the current Prime Minister, who had previously shared the power with him, would be canceled and the power of the Prime Minister would be owned by the President.
It means that Bina Li Yildirim, Turkey's current Prime Minister, will be Turkey's last Prime Minister.
So, how much impact will Erdogan, who is holding concentrated power in hands, bring to Turkey and the pattern of the world?
👇 What Did the Western Media Say?
CNN quickly threw out an article, lamenting: Turkey's democracy died today!
In CNN’s view, this is the beginning of Turkey’s slipping from democracy to dictatorship.
And CNN warned that Erdogan's ambition was rather great, his newly built $ 600 million worthy super-luxury presidential residence with 1,100 rooms would be a signal that, this president wants more.
Another western media “Foreign Policy”(FP) magazine which is more radical than CNN, directly claimed that “RIP Turkey, 1921-2017”.
However, whether CNN or FP are expressed the disgust of Erdogan and the referendum. A very noteworthy details, Erdogan and his “Islamic forces” are "anti-Western".
Both CNN and FP noticed that Erdogan and his “Islamic forces” are "anti-Western", they believed that Erdogan will not do anything to please the West anymore for entering the "EU”. On the contrary, he will make every effort to boost his popularity in the Middle East to join up the Muslim World.
In other words, after Russia,
the West has to face a more troublesome Turkey.
But, what's your own opinion?
