トルコ国民投票、憲法改正承認
トルコで9月12日、軍や司法の権限を縮小する憲法改正案の是非を問う国民投票が行なわれ、賛成多数で承認された。
Turkish voters OK constitution changes
A solid majority of Turkish voters approved sweeping changes to their military-era constitution on Sept. 12 in a referendum hailed by the government as a leap toward full democracy in line with its troubled bid to join the European Union.
With 99 percent of the vote counted, 58 percent had cast ballots in favor of the constitutional amendments. About 42 percent voted "no," heeding opposition claims that the reforms would shackle the independence of the courts.
The referendum on 26 amendments to a constitution crafted after a 1980 military coup had become a battleground between the Islamic-oriented government and traditional power elites. (AP)
