It's About Modernization, Not Religion

The elections in Turkey were a momentous event. The ruling AKP has its roots in Turkey's Islamist movement and won in a landslide. But I see no reason not to apply the same analytical tools as in any other country's political system. Voters were not voting about the future of secularism in this country. They were responding to military interference in Turkey's modernization.
