Turkey's minister says Turkey to put a new constitution to referendum
ANKARA (A.A) - 10.05.2011 - Turkey's state minister and deputy prime minister said on Monday that the ruling Justice & Development (AK) Party would put a new constitution to referendum even if it was adopted by votes in favor of all lawmakers.
Bulent Arinc said the AK Party would add such a provision to the concerned law.
"We will hold a referendum even though a new constitution is adopted by 467 votes," Arinc told representatives of several local TV channels in Ankara.
Arinc said his personal view was to at least keep the party's vote in the previous elections which was 47 percent, and to raise this ratio.
The new constitution the AK Party was planning to introduce after the June 12th general elections would have fewer articles than the one in practice, Arinc said.
Arinc also said the new constitution would not be state-focused but human-focused and the AK Party was not planning to complete constitutional studies within a few months.
