July 20-1009:
Turkey's Secular Democracy Is In Jeopardy!
When the leader and military general Atta Turk came to power in Turkey, the Constitution was amended to ensure that the state promotes and practices Democracy, The Rule Of Law, and remains a Secular State.
The National Army was charged with the responsibility to ensure the no civilian government violates the Constitutional and Democratic Secular Objectives.
And to intervene whenever such violations occur, to re-establish another Civilian Democratic Authority.
Today, the current pontifical administration is espousing views, especially the Prime Minister that Islamic preferences will be encouraged and promoted.
This attitude spells trouble for the majority of Turks who believe and want a Democratic State, based on the Rule Of Law, with Secular Values, and governed by A Democratic administration.
