Erdogan: Change in Turkey's electoral law is necessary

By Trend

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday it was necessary to amend Turkey's electoral law, Anadolu reported.

"In my opinion, amendments to the electoral law are necessary," Erdogan said in an interview aired live on CNN Turk.

The president was responding questions on the April 16 constitutional referendum.

Erdogan noted that amendments to the electoral law had never been high on Turkey's agenda, and the political circles were not keen on it.

Currently, there is a 10 percent threshold to gain seats in the assembly.
