Why Turkey May Need a Coup d'État

Submitted by Feride, May 4, 2007 12:02

Its is sad and pathetic how the AK party takes advantage of the uneducated, people of Turkey and uses religion as their means to the end. Most of the supporters of Erdogan live in the eastern part of the Turkey which remains to be secluded from the modernity of the west, proper education, woman's rights, and economical development. No matter what the outcome of the upcoming election is, the army will and has the absolute right to step in and make sure that Ataturks ideals and secularism will live on. Foreigners, even supporters of the AK party underestimate Turkish people and their love and loyalty to Ataturk.
