This is why the crisis over the presidential election was actually a crisis of the constitutional order installed by the military when it ruled from 1980-1983. That constitution – unlike Ataturk’s – was written by and for the military on the assumption that the Cold War would never end, and that the president would always be either a military person or someone close to the military.
这也就是为什么说总统大选危机其实是在1980-1983年间统治土耳其的军方所建立的宪法秩序的危机。那一部宪法—与凯末尔的宪法不同—是由军方起草并为军方自身利益而出台的。它的假设前提是“冷战”永不结束，且总统会一直是军人或与军方有密切联系的人。
