From Mr Ozer Erman.

Sir, It is not surprising that the FT supports the democratically elected Islamist government in Turkey (editorial, “Talking Turkey”, July 15 and previous articles). This is the form of government that is practised and advocated by western European societies based on their circumstances and history. The problem is that other countries may have completely different problems and circumstances."
