Behind the court case against Turkey's ruling party lies an existential question: how Islamist has the country become?
Long piece in The Economist about Turkey. Worth a read if you're coming up to speed on the subject.

#1  Steve,

No time or interest in The Economist any more but let me ask you - is the Turkish Military being infiltrated by Islamists? I would find that hard to believe. As long as the Turkish Military is still secular, western and part of NATO (as well as receiving US Military assistance) then there is a big counter-weight.
