I should say that changes take place in Turkey. How much paradoxical it may sound but the Islamist line pursued by Recep Tayyip leads the country towards democratization. Islamists wish to limit the role of the General Staff in the home and foreign policy. The period launched by the young Turks and Kemal Ataturk comes to an end, Head of the Department of Turkey of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Doctor Ruben Safrastyan stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
The incumbent government stands for Islam which promotes the process of European integration. Erdogan can become Turkey’s new president and this will mean the final end of Kemalists represented by President Ahmed Necet Sezer. Of course there is a risk. If the positions of the military weaken we will have to deal with unpredictable Turkey. But it’s premature to speak of it yet.
