The debate over the validity of the April 16 referendum results has dominated discussions in Turkey's legal and political spheres lately. Some have even delved into the top election body's decision, saying that the results were not clean and could further be challenged through alternative legal means. Amid ongoing debates, Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ, speaking to private broadcaster A Haber yesterday, said the decision by Turkey's Supreme Election Board (YSK) regarding unstamped ballots was appropriate. He further added that neither the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) nor the Constitutional Court had authority to rule over the referendum result, according to the Constitution.
