No voters express their concerns over Turkey's future

“I have to vote no because there is too much uncertainty with this new system," Melih Balci, 23, university student in Istanbul’s Uskudar district told MEE on Sunday.

"What if the person who comes after Recep Tayyip Erdogan has the wrong intentions and so much power? I am too young to make comparisons with the past but all my elders tell me that nothing good will come of this either.”

“I voted no because Turkey is bigger than one,”

Umut Gundem, 22, university student told MEE, in an inverse reference to an often-quoted reference made by president Erdogan that the world is bigger than five.

Erdogan has used this quote to demand more power for countries who are not part of the permanent five in the UN Security Council.
