Erdogan takes an example to Hitler's Germany

ankara - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called Germany from the time of dictator Adolf Hitler as an example of an effective presidential system. Turkish media reports said Friday.

Erdogan wants to change the Turkish constitution so that the president not only has a ceremonial role but is the head of government, as in the United States, France or Russia.

The president got Thursday asked whether it is possible to introduce such a system without affecting the centralized role of the state. There are examples in the world. You see it when you look at Hitler's Germany , Erdogan replied.

The Turkish constitution dates from 1980 and was drawn up following a coup by the army. The opposition supports Erdogan in his desire to update the constitution. However, she feels nothing for a greater role for the president, because an authoritarian leader therefore too much power in the hands would get.
