Friday, 30 December, 2016 - 11:30

The Turkish parliament's constitutional commission has approved a draft constitutional reform law, which is going to provide for the transition to the presidential form of government.
The Parliament is also expected to approve the bill, after which, presumably, a referendum will be held in March 2017.

Despite criticism to expanding the president's powers, Ankara is going to accept the amendment.
