My Way News - Turkey gears up for referendum
My Way News reports: "Turkey's justice minister said Tuesday that a September referendum on changes to the military-era constitution would accelerate democratic change in a country struggling with internal challenges even as it asserts itself on the international stage."

Comment: Just remember that things are a bit upside down in Turkey. Accelerating democratic change in Turkey is not necessarily a good thing if it gives more power to an Islamist political party bent on pushing Turkey away from the West, but then again, that's what we expect to happen given our prophetic insight.
