Legislation of Turkey

The Constitution of Turkey grants sole legislative authority to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, which is responsible for making, amending, and repealing laws. The Constitution of Turkey stands as the supreme legal framework of the republic, Legislative duties are exercised independently from the Judicial system of Turkey, maintaining the separation of powers within the state.

Historically, the head of government was the Prime Minister of Turkey, who led the executive branch alongside the President. However, following the 2017 Turkish constitutional referendum, Turkey transitioned from a semi-parliamentary system to a presidential system. This reform abolished the office of Prime Minister and transferred executive powers to the President of Turkey, who now serves as both the Head of State and the Head of Government.

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey remains the sole legislative body in the country. While the Grand National Assembly of Turkey holds the sole and foremost power of legislation in Turkey, New laws and legislative decisions can be vetoed by the President of Turkey.
