The law is specifically written so that she has to authorize the prosecution. It's not "respecting the separation of powers" to prosecute something when it's in your sole discretion to prosecute it.

If the law did not normally require executive decisions it would be different.

There's the equivalent paragraph for regular people and Erdogan also demande prosecution under that provision. The primary difference is a slightly lower maximum sentence. That paragraph does not require government authorization. In practice, this decision does make little difference. It's a political statement.
