Résumé La victoire électorale du Parti de la justice et du développement (AKP) a surpris les Européens, qui éprouvent quelque difficulté à définir ce parti, improprement présenté comme celui des « islamistes modérés ». S'inscrivant dans la longue et complexe histoire du multipartisme et du système des partis en Turquie, l'AKP se situe pour l'essentiel dans la continuité des efforts entrepris depuis les années 1950 pour faire vivre un centre droit libéral et réformateur opposé à la tradition étatique et « éclairée » issue du kémalisme. Les succès initiaux du gouvernement Erdogan sur la voie de la préparation du pays à la négociation sur l'adhésion à l'Union européenne accréditent l'idée de « démocrates musulmans », même si la dynamique politique semble hésiter après la décision européenne de décembre 2004.

The electoral victory of the Party of Justice & Development (AKP) has surprised Europeans who have some difficulty in defining this party & improperly present it as the party of "moderate Islamists." As part of the long & complex history of the Turkish multi-party system, the AKP is basically in keeping with the attempts launched in the 1950s to create a liberal & reformist center-right force opposed to the enlightened statist tradition descended from Kemalism. The initial success of the Erdogan government in the process of preparing the country for the negotiations leading to membership of the European Union substantiate the notion of "Muslim democrats," even though the political dynamic has tended to falter since the European decision of December 2004.

France Caught Up in the Algerian Drama, by Alain Chenal
Since 1988, Franco-Algerian relations have been marked by a solidarity between the two governments (despite doubts expressed when the Algerian electoral process was interrupted in January 1992) to the point that Paris appears to be the staunchest defender of the ideas of the Algerian government before the international community. In addition, France facing important elections itself wishes, as far as possible, to limit the effects of the Algerian crisis especially with regard to a possible influx into France of Algerian citizens. Recent crises have not really changed this directive which is far from finding unanimous support in French government circles.
