Turkish government

The Turkish government operates as a presidential republic, where the President serves as both the head of state and government. It has a bicameral legislature, composed of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, which passes laws. The political landscape includes multiple parties, but the ruling party, established by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has been dominant in recent years. The judicial system is independent, although concerns about its impartiality have been raised. Turkey's government also engages in foreign relations, balancing ties with Western countries and regional powers while managing internal issues, such as ethnic diversity and economic challenges.
