Talk:Politics of Turkey

Someone more familiar with politics might be interested to study this family tree of the Turkish radical left and include it somewhere if it is accurate. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 18:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The government section of the "Outline of Turkey" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .

Thank you.

I guess "Politics of country X" should be about current politics and that information about former politics should be in "History of Country X". If that is wrong please could someone explain how former politics should be split between "Politics of country X" and "History of Country X".

So on that assumption I am removing large chunks of out of date info. For example: as far as I know the military has no role in politics currently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzlcdh (talk • contribs) 19:53, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I do not understand why "government of turkey" is redirecting here. Looking at other countries articles they should be 2 separate articles. Unless anyone gives a good reason I will likely separate them when I have time. Jzlcdh (talk) 20:43, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have split them. Jzlcdh (talk) 16:39, 4 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have added a link under "Also See" to another Wikipedia Article titled "Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code." It is a topic in the news making it extemely relevant to this article now more than ever. It is part of this country's laws and should throw a wind of caution for those who are looking to get information before travel about the country and important laws not to break. Article 301 is being used now and heavier than usual to detain foreign individuals traveling to Turkey, such as journalists who may report on negative aspects of the current Turkish President and arrest domestic cases internal to Turkey for tweets on Twitter and posts on Facebook that offend the President personally. Can someone assist me in building a topic on this within this article explaining this and how people are self-censoring their words so they can avoid any insults and the ability of Turkish People to speak freely about their country's political situation, even if it is bad, without punishment.

Of course, it would have to be a neutral aedition to the article and unbiased as I believe that a person stating an opinion about the leadership of their own country should not be criminalized, but a right (this can oppress political dissenters and cause opposing Presidential Candidates who lose their races later to be arrested as political dissenters and jailed indefinitely).

This is crucial to understand the current situation in Turkey. There should be a comparison between the previous constitution (1982) and the new one after the referendum. This section should talk about which articles have changed and what their effects might be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irmakyesil1 (talk • contribs) 15:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC) I will write about the functions, responsibilities and structures of executive and legislative powers under their own sections. I will make a comparison of how they were before the constitutional change and afterward. I might also add to the judiciary depending on if the change effects at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irmakyesil1 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

This should have some subcategories such as the founding of the parliament, democratization of the parliament ( women's rights, multi-party system, etc.). It should start from the fall of Ottoman Empire to founding of the Turkish Republic and its parliament in order to understand how these traditions may have been shaped by the previous democratization attempts in the Ottoman Empire. Moreover, this page lacks information about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who is the founding father of the country and the parliament, therefore it is impossible to talk about politics in Turkey correctly, without mentioning him. Also, the failed attempts of multi-party systems should be mentioned and it should end with the transition to a multi-party system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irmakyesil1 (talk • contribs) 15:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

The section about the ministers being a party member is outdated, I will change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irmakyesil1 (talk • contribs) 10:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Politics of Turkey's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

The main religion of turkey is Muslim and that is what they would prefer your religion to be and obama became president in 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.235.65.50 (talk) 17:53, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
