Abstract
It has long been discussed which of the democratic government systems would be suitable for Turkey's administrative structure and would bring successful results. In Turkey, which has been governed by a parliamentary government system for many years, it is desired to put an end to these discussions with the transition to the Presidential government system. In this direction, a referendum was held on April 16, 2017, and after the Presidential election held in 2018, a full transition to the Presidential Government System was made. However, positive or negative evaluations of different dimensions have been made for the new government system in Turkey, and they continue to be made. However, when the focus of the issue is a country's way of doing government and politics, the positive or negative contribution of the evaluations and the discussions on the subject from time to time can be understood over time. Because what is discussed is not a simple phenomenon that will affect only a person or institution, but whether a new mechanism can be built that will directly affect the administrative structure of a country, the focus of its politics, its future and its relations with its citizens. In this study, it is aimed to introduce the new system and analyze the criticisms made against the system by getting to the basis of the evaluations made on the Presidential Government System. In this context, first of all, a general conceptual framework will be drawn regarding the parliamentary government system and the Presidential Government System. Then, it will be discussed how the Presidential Government System will affect the structure and functioning of the public administration, democratic order, elections, executive power, parliamentary powers and regime change discussions in Turkey.
