Transformation underway
A very important week is starting for Turkey. The unprecedented era of two prime ministers and two presidents will come to an end with one of the presidents packing up and moving to Istanbul to become a well-paid pensioner, while the other will relinquish his helm on the prime ministry and move on to become the country’s newly elected 12th president. The elected president will not vacate the prime ministry seat due to a fear that his stepping down will have unsavory consequences. Thus he has immunity and will assume the presidency on Aug. 28.
