Turkish presidency

The Turkish presidency is the head of state and government, responsible for leading the executive branch, implementing laws, and representing Turkey internationally. The president is elected by popular vote for a designated term and holds significant authority over policy direction, national security, and appointments. The role has expanded notably since constitutional reforms, making the president a central figure in Turkish politics, with influence over legislative processes and government administration. The presidency operates within the framework of a parliamentary system, balancing power with the parliament and judiciary, and emphasizing democratic principles.
