ISTANBUL Mujer Adidas Superstar 2 Azules Blancas G17256 España , April 14 (Xinhua) -- As Turks go to the polls on Sunday over whether to accept amendments to the constitution to make way for a presidential system, "No" campaigners feel confident about their victory, though many polls indicate a neck-and-neck race.
According to polls made public in the past week, both "Yes" and "No" camps may emerge victorious by a small margin by garnering 51-52 percent of the votes.
Some polling companies give a slightly higher percentage -- ranging between 53 and 58 percent -- mostly favoring yes.
Dividing Turks is the contentious issue of whether to turn to an executive presidency from the parliamentarian system put in place ever since the republic was founded in 1923.
Those campaigning for "No" look confident that they are ahead in the polls, while leading figures of the "Yes" campaign -- members of the ruling party -- have been cautious on the issue.
"Let me say it clearly: Despite all the pressure by the state, the ruling party Adidas Superstar 80s Metal Toe Doradas Foil España , the no vote will win," said Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), in a live interview on TV on Wednesday night.
Earlier in the day, he also maintained, based on latest surveys Mujer Adidas Superstar 80s Negras B26728 España , that at least 53 percent of the voters in Istanbul would say no.
As Turkey's most populous city, Istanbul has almost one fifth of all the voters in the country except for expats.
The yeasayers argue that the switch to the presidential system would help the country achieve better economic progress and fight more effectively against terrorism by accelerating the decision-making process.
In an apparent bid to win over nationalist voters, they have often charged that whoever votes no is on the same side with terrorists.
The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), in power since 2002, also says the executive presidency would ensure stability in politics by eliminating the risk of coalitions under the parliamentarian system.
For their part, the naysayers counter that granting sweeping powers to the president without checks and balances could lead the country to disaster.
According to "No" campaigners Adidas Superstar 80s DLX Suede Negras Blancas S75143 España , a stronger presidency would mean a change in Turkey's democratic regime rather than its political system, a development that would lead to a dictatorial one-man rule.
The ruling party rejects the claim, saying any person elected by popular votes can not be called a dictator.
Voting yes for the 18-article constitutional amendments is handing over the fate of the nation to a single person, the naysayers caution.
"The regime can no longer be called a democracy should these amendments enter into force," Abdullatif Sener, a former AKP deputy prime minister Adidas Superstar 80s Blancas Azules G61068 España , told Xinhua.
The state structure the package aims to put in place would turn Turkey into a plaything for imperialism, he added, indicating it is always easier to pressure one single person.
According to the amendments to be voted on in Sunday referendum, the president will be authorized to change all top-level bureaucrats by a presidential decree without parliament's approval.
The "Yes" block is composed of the ruling AKP, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who headed the party, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) as well as the Grand Unity Party (BBP) Mujer Adidas Superstar W Rojas Blancas B35794 España , a minor nationalist party not represented in parliament.
The remaining two parties that have seats in parliament, the CHP and the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) are campaign for "No." The conservative Felicity Party (SP), which appeals to religious voters like the AKP, is part of this camp.
The SP got only 0.7 percent of the votes in the last general election in 2015, but could have a significant influence over AKP voters as it is the party out of which the AKP was originally born in 2001.
The AKP won 49 percent of the votes in Istanbul in the last general election, while the MHP had almost 9 percent.
The Islamist AKP garnered 49.5 percent of all the votes in the 2015 election Mujer Adidas Superstar 2 Rojas Blancas 663654 España , while the MHP got almost 12 percent, the CHP over 25 percent and the HDP almost 11 percent. The right-wing BBP got slightly over half a percent.
Both the MHP and the BBP grassroots, however, are hugely split about the referendum. Around half a dozen former MHP deputies, most of them former leading party figures, are campaigning for no.
Meral Aksener Mujer Adidas Superstar 2 Negras Blancas 664819 España , one of those MHP figures, claimed during a TV interview last week that the "No" camp will win around 54 percent of the votes.
Aksener also maintained that 80 percent of the MHP voters will say nay in the referendum. Some polling companies and MHP dissidents say the figure may be as high as 90 percent.
The MHP rejects the claim.
The "Yes" campaign will get a clear victory in the polls, Semih Yalcin, a MHP deputy chairman, said on TV on Thursday, noting conservative voters represent 64-70 percent of the country's population.
In contrast Mujer Adidas Superstar Suede Rosa Blancas España , President Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim have so far refrained from uttering any figures regarding polls, although they maintain yes votes are ahead and rising.
"Looking at the polls, there has been a very serious increase in yes votes," Erdogan said during a live TV interview on Thursday evening.
Yildirim was asked in a live interview the night before whether there were any poll results he would like to share with the public. While stating he has no doubts about a "Yes" win, the premier's response revealed his expectation of a neck-and-neck race.
When asked if yes votes would comfortably win, he said there is no need to get into details and that 50 plus one percent of votes would be enough for a win.
Yildirim has often defended the shift to the presidential system Mujer Adidas Superstar Blancas Power Rojas B B0532 España , saying a boat should not have two captains at the helm, referring to the posts of prime minister and president in the current system.
The ruling party argues the sharing
