    Turkey and its army: Guardians of Kemalism
  • The Turkish army regards itself as the custodian of Kemalism.

    Since 1960, 4 Turkish governments have been overthrown in the name of guarding Turkey's democracy from disorder and Islamic rule.

    Turkish President Erdogan who leads the AKP, too, miffed the military by exercising excessive control in his own hands.

    Further, he "reformed" Turkish schools along Islamist lines, which created discord within military quarters.

  • Historical

    What is Kemalism?

  • The current Turkish Republic was established in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, a former army officer strongly committed to "democratic nationalism and hardline secularism" now referred to as Kemalism.
