Referendum win by Erdogan mainly means a boost for democracy in Turkey

Turkey’s Erdogan ready to make changes after referendum win - The Globe and Mail
Excerpt:
The AKP ran an impressive campaign. Most aspects of the government’s
lengthy set of changes were immensely popular: They reduce the power of
military courts over civilians, grant greater protections of human
rights, and remove the immunity from prosecution that Turkey’s military
coup leaders gave themselves when drafting the constitution in the early
1980s.
