The Parliament’s General Assembly will convene today after the two months summer break. On the agenda the upcoming general elections, the Constitutional changes after the 12 September referendum and the review of adapting to European Union laws. The 2011 budget is also on the agenda.
The road map to EU membership will be shaped next December and this will push the AKP (Justice and Development Party) government to focus on its EU reform laws.
It is expected that AKP will convene Parliament for five months at most, until March. Leaders and deputies will then hit the road to prepare for the election. It is unlikely that Parliament will get any work done after this date.
