The Recent History of Presidential System Debates in Turkey: Political Views of Özal and Demirel

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a background to the discussions on the system change in Turkey, one of the hot topics of contemporary Turkish politics, and it focuses on the views of Turgut Özal and Süleyman Demirel on presidential system. Those two civilian leaders’ approach to the system change is important as they are presented in a political structure which is shaped by a constitution adopted following a military coup. Özal and Demirel, who both have the experience of leading the state and the government, reciprocally shaped the debate with their unique political styles and in a dialogue with each other. They also played a role in constructing different sides of the debate. This paper links the contemporary debates on presidential system with the arguments presented in the 1990s and it contributes to contextualizing the issue.
