- Abstract
Since the 201 general elections in Turkey, debates over a new constiution have remained hot in public agenda. This has kept alive people's interest in the new constiution. People's expectations have ben expresed in diferent ways through country-wide studies. However, studies dealing with people's expectations on local levels are les than few in numbers. To fil this gap to a certain extent, this study aims at finding outhe expectations of people of an eastern province in Turkey, Ağrı, from the new Turkish constiution. For this purpose, 30 in-depth interviews and 2 focus group interviews have ben conducted. A group of people who can be defined as “leaders of public opinion” were chosen as the sample of the study. These people consisted in the leaders of main local NGO's and profesional chambers, who literaly represent some 2.401 people (based on the membership criteria). Beside, the representatives of some sociological groups like “tribes” (“aşirets”) and religious communites (jama'ats) were included in the interviews. The study shows that here is an expectation among the people that a new constiution wil potentialy solve the basic problems in the country. Because of this expectation, people believe that he new constiution should be made and brought into force as son as posible. The study also shows that here are expectations about he forms and the contents of the new constiution: It should be brief, clear and understandable. Also, the respondents believe that it should focus on fundamental rights and fredoms, leaving other isues to the laws. The research, the final report of which has ben submited to the president of TBMM, Cemil Çiçek, takes a sociological point of view rather than a judicial aproach.
