Perhaps we should thank the speaker!
Parliament Speaker İsmail Kahraman has understandably caused outrage among modern Turks by suggesting the new Turkish constitution should be stripped of all references to secularism and be based on religious values instead.
His remark also disturbed his own Justice and Development Party (AKP) government because it appears to hint at what really lies in the AKP’s heart.
When combined with his support for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s push to convert Turkey’s parliamentary system into a presidential one, Kahraman appears to be calling for an Islamic dictatorship.
