German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble warned Tuesday of signs that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may be seeking to build a dictatorship through a referendum on expanding his powers.
Asked by a journalist if Erdogan is building "an autocracy or even a dictatorship" through the reform, Schaeuble replied: "One can read the constitutional draft that way. And if one follows the developments in recent years, then one can find several reasons or analyses (on this)... but yes, these are signs that are simply worrying."
