Quoting azade:



Europe is pounding on Turkey to be kept as secular as possible. If you could tell me about how Gül should be religious to the extent that he threathens secularism in Turkey I would appreciate it, because he has never come off as extreme in his beliefs to me.



People are afraid of what they dont know,even if it gives them their choices back !

From what I understand, Gül has a good reputation outside Turkey (they don't portray him as religious). Even though I know he is, he doesn't come off as religious in the things he say. So why are people against him running for president?



Yes, we know all european countries and usa love these government...What a surprise, huh? Please learn his declarations against secular Republic first...

i will give one example, i think that will be enough but if u want to learn more, search by yourself , u can find many declarations like this in 90's
"Secular Republic has come to an end" in Times in 1995 and also became a headline on newspaper Posta...





it is not so easy to destroy secularism in Turkey...nobody can manage it..but when some politicians are try to hide their unsuccessful action,they start to talk about ''secularism''.Do u know why AKP was chosen??it was chosen coz of the parties such as ANAP,DYP and CHP...pll who were on todays meeting were are richer than others so what about poor ppl.they will again support Cem Uzan

Quoting Trudy:

What I understood from Todays Zaman story's and newspapers here is that Mr. Gül's party has enough members in parliament (350 of 550?) to change the Constitutional Law. Is that what people are afraid of?

And again, I'm not trying to get a political debate, I just want information. Maybe I see things wrongly, maybe my sources are biased? And who can inform me better than Turkish people themselves?



Already the newspaper you had your news is also not a good and objective one i think. They can change Constitutional laws but not the first 4 but some attacks are made to these 4 law so people feel uncomfortable and protest,so millions of people had meeting today, people do not trust them in other words in all subjects but they continue to stay stubborn and continue to tense the people and public, people want compromise and election.



I think zaman is one of the objective newspaper in Turkey.Nobody can change constitutional laws of Turkey which were done by Ataturk...AKP is on the right way but others are against to democrasy cos these goverment were chosen by public and have to show respect.so next election is already soon,and I think AKp will get more again...it is coz of todays protesters.






Really? Yeah Zaman is the voice of AKP very objective... U think like that, remember the look of AKP to democracy, they say "Democracy is not aim, is only a vehicle"...How democratic we see...When u see only one party selected president of Republic in Republic history? We will see when the elections came, we know who is who...
