Demokrasi ve başkanlık sistemi

The presidential system, although its origins lies in European political thought, is an original political system. Some of the distinctive characteristics of the presidential system are the election of president directly by people, the division of power between president and parliament which depends on the balance and control of each other, and the authority of president for having the administration power. The problem for who tries to find a relationship between the political system and democracy is to diagnose the effect of the political system on the maturity of democracy.
