Nice post - it will be interesting to see if the AK Party is more aggressive in their national program now.

I think Turkey will continue to grow economically but I hope AKP will stick to their candidate, and put the army in a difficult fix.

Turkey is heading in the right direction. Turks have shown that Islam can coexist with secularism and democracy. I absolutely agree that the 'secularists' are hollering because the want to sustain their monopoly in the judiciary, state bureaucracy and military. Let us hope the rest of the Muslim world can learn from this example.

I would like to see AKP persisting with Abdullah Gul, as he's got acceptance in various circles in Turkey.

I would like to see Abdulla Gul as president, but there's no way the military will let them. It's more likely Ordegan will opt for a compromise candidate.
