Özet:

            According to the Turkish Constitution, the amendment of the Constitution is different from the amendment of the laws in terms of the decision quorum. Accordingly, the adoption of a bill for an amendment shall require a three-fifths majority of the total number of members of the Assembly. Bills to amend the Constitution shall be debated twice in the Plenary and two ballots are taken in each bill. As a result, there are four ballots for constitutional amendment. There is no consistency between the legislation and the application of the Assembly on the issue of the quorum of the decision to be sought on such ballots. This is particularly problematic at the point of the validity of the constitutional amendment and as a problem to be solved in the judicial review by the Constitutional Court of Turkey.
