TACSO Turkey Support to the Constitutional Process Report

One of the post-election priorities in Turkey has become the creation of a new constitution. The government has made this a priority and has established the Constitutional Commission within the parliament, inclusive of the different political parties in parliament, and responsible for drafting the new constitution. It is essential at this time, that civil society also become part of this process, and that mechanisms for participation are defined in advance to ensure that all groups can express their views on a new constitution.
