[edit] Role of Turkey's military

The article claims in the "Factor of the Military" section: "Since Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded the modern secular Republic of Turkey in 1923, the Turkish military has perceived itself as the guardian of Kemalism, the official state ideology, even though Atatürk himself insisted on separating the military from politics." Yet http://jspc.library.wisc.edu/issues/1998-1999/article5.html clearly contradicts this: "In fact, when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic in 1923, included in the country's constitution the military's role as the sole "defender and protector of the constitution and of republican and honest civilian rule," he basically legitimized the military's intervention in politics (Perlmutter, 1977, p.111)."

[edit] Merger - Demerger

Politics of Turkey is part of a series Politics by country. Elections in Turkey was part of a series Elections by country. I will restore the old pages, but will try to make a more clear separation. Gangulf 19:15, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • I laso can't observe that the article would have been copied from that page. Paraphrased - maybe. Is paraphrasing a copyright issue? -- Teemeah 13:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I will delete the copyright violation tag. Electionworld = Wilfried (talk 21:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
