"Turkey moves on
TURKEY'S JUDICIAL establishment, to the relief of its government and the country's European friends, has pulled back from the brink. The Constitutional Court's decision on Wednesday not to close the country's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) should bring a welcome end to months of political uncertainty, and marks an important landmark in the ongoing struggle to reconcile secularism with democracy. The ruling will also weaken the position of those determined to keep Turkey at arm's length from the European Union."
