Discusses the nuanced national debate following the 22 July parliamentary debate in Turkey, suggesting it represented a referendum on secularism to some & modernism to others, while still others viewed the issue as fundamentally between urban & rural or as pro- vs antiwar. Attention is given to the military's political role & to the international & domestic implications of the Islamist Justice & Development Party's (AKP's) victory. Adapted from the source document.
