  September 12 referendum will fail, should Turkish opposition decide to boycott it September 2, 2010 - 17:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - September 12 referendum will fail, should Turkish opposition decide to boycott it, according to Zafer Yoruk, Lecturer of Media and Politics at Izmir University of Economics. As he noted in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the referendum will not resolve the issue of Turkey’s EU bid. However, it will help promote democracy in the country. “This will happen in case opposition decides against boycotting,” Yoruk stressed. At the same time, Yoruk noted that the new edition of Turkey’s constitution contains no new stipulations on religious minorities. “The rights of national minorities have long been secured. I see no sense in altering them. National minorities have equal rights with Turkish citizen and I don’t think they need more than was already given to them,” the Turkish expert emphasized.
