Summary/Abstract: In broad perspective, this paper analyses the role of the executive power in the entire state structure of the Republic of Turkey, i.e. from the creation of modern Turkish statehood in the early 1920s up to the recent period. Similarly analysed are the important measures towards executive power that have been implemented, mainly due to interventions of the Turkish military in civilian politics. The paper also focuses attention on the Justice and Development Party`s era in Turkish politics, since its domination in the political system combines with a strong tendency to strength the executive branch.
