(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, FEBRUARY 19 - Only one in three Turks, or
34.2% of the population, considers Turkey a 'fully democratic
country', according to a poll on social and political trends by
the Kadir Has university published in Harriyet Tuesday. Some
29.9% of those polled think that there is full 'freedom of
thought' in the country while 28.8% say that the Turkish press
is 'free', and 52.5% think that the justice system is
'politicized.'
Some 65% are against key presidential reforms to the
constitution proposed by Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan and are in
favour of keeping the current parliamentary system.
But 34.3% support Erdogan's election as head of state next year, versus 12% who back the social democratic opposition leader Kemal Kilicadaroglu and 10.7% who support the current President Abdullah Gul - co founder along with Erdogan of the AKP. (ANSAmed).
