What Will Erdogan Do as Executive President? | Inside Story


Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dominated Turkey's political scene for the past 16 years, and looks set to continue for many more to come. His re-election on Sunday makes him Turkey's first executive president. That means he has new, expanded powers because of changes to the constitution approved in last year's referendum.

His main opposition rival accepts the result - but Muharrem Ince says the election was unfair, and warns Erdogan's 'one man rule' is a danger to Turks. So how will the balance of power be changed?

Le président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan a déclaré jeudi avoir mis en garde son homologue iranien, Hassan Rohani, après des publications dans certains médias iraniens accusant le président turc et sa famille d'être impliqués avec des membres de l'EI dans un trafic de pétrole.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan a déclaré avoir eu un entretien téléphonique avec Hassan Rohani au cours duquel il lui a dit: " Vous allez payer le prix fort si cela continue comme cela». Le président turc a ajouté que les Iraniens avaient ensuite effacé ces publications de leurs sites web. » | ats/nxp | dimanche 6 décembre 2015
