Abstract:
The traditional “Kemalist vs. Islamist” divide is being replaced by authoritarianism vs. democratization.
The antagonism between authoritarian statism and democratization will decide the future of the country.
The current Opposition reflects the profound social need for change and democratization.
AKP and MHP voters have far more hard-line nationalist and less democratic attitudes than supporters of the opposition parties.
