"Turkey divided: politics, faith and democracy
Gunes Murat Tezcur
4 - 5 - 2007
The political crisis in Turkey reflects a clash of definition over the very nature of the country, says Gunes Murat Tezcur.
A convulsive crisis is gripping Turkey. At stake is not just the choice of the next president or even the future political direction of the country, but the fundamental identity of the Turkish state and society. How this crisis is resolved will determine the evolution of this pivotal nation for years to come, and will - whatever the outcome - have repercussions far beyond Turkey's borders."
