Member of the Turkish parliament

A Member of the Grand National Assembly is a member of the unicameral Turkish legislature. It is the sole body given the legislative prerogatives by the Turkish Constitution. There are 600 members of parliament (deputies) who are elected for a five-year term by a party-list proportional representation system.

Members listed in Wikispooks tend to be the ones who have attended Bilderberg meetings.

Parliamentary immunity

Parliamentary immunity in Turkey exists since the Turkish constitution was accepted in 1924.[1] It is meant to grant immunity to the members of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey before the judiciary and has been based on the parliamentary immunity which France has as well.[2] Parliamentary immunity can be lifted if the parliaments majority votes so.[3] The Constitutional Court was created in 1962,[4] and has the authority to ban political parties and also ban people from holding a political office, and if those are members of parliament, then they are also not protected by the parliamentary immunity.[5] The new constitution of 1982 also included a parliamentary immunity, but in the case an investigation under Art. 14 of the constitution (especially Kurdish separatism) has been initiated before the politicians election into parliament, the courts could be allowed to carry on with the proceedings.[5]

For decades, the Turkish military led establishment held a major degree of influence in the decisions of the civilian population and the political parties for decades.[6] It was worried that through the parliamentary immunity the Islamist parties would achieve to impose Islam on the political agenda or that Kurds would demand more autonomy in South East Turkey.[6]
