Republikaner versus Demokraten? Zur politischen Entwicklung in der Turkei

In: Welt-Trends: das außenpolitische Journal, Heft 62, S. 31-39

Abstract

What events have shaken Turkey to its core? Despite a promising future & successful reforms that have brought the country closer to EU accedence, disbandment proceedings against the AKP majority government, steady Islamization on the one hand & a return to the pro-putsch underground organization Ergenekon on the other hand have shaken Turkeys stability. Public trust in politics & their institutions is marginal; however, trust in the military is great. A paradox demanding more than an understanding of geography. Adapted from the source document.
