He replied: "Yes. There is nothing saying that you can't have a presidential system in a unitary state. There are already some examples in the world today, and also some from the past. You see it when you look at Hitler's Germany. Later you see the example again in various other countries. What is important is that a presidential system should not disturb the people in its implementation. If you provide justice, there will be no problem because what people want and expect is justice. We cannot at the moment say that presidential systems are entirely free from problems. There are places governed by a presidential system and still goes through problems, but in comparison we see that presidential systems are relatively better than parlementarian[sic] systems.”[1]
I think invoking comparison with Hitler's Germany as an example of good system is still pretty awful!
