ISTANBUL, Turkey, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Turkish leaders submitted a bill Saturday to focus power in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's office, a move that will change the country's constitution and give the president more powers.
Justice and Development Party deputy parliamentary group chair Mustafa Elitas submitted the draft with 316 signatures. If it is accepted in a vote that would happen in the late spring or summer, the changes would go into effect in 2019.
