| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When the 2011 parliamentary election campaign started, Turkish political parties promised to draft a new constitution in their manifestos. Not surprisingly, after the election, the political parties that gained representation in parliament reiterated this promise to their constituents. Furthermore, hopes for a new constitution have increased with the beginning of the legislative session because the above-mentioned political parties have agreed to join the negotiation process without presenting any pre-conditions. However, each party has its own agenda and hopes for a new constitution might collapse when these agendas appear during the negotiation process. |
