Reader comment on item: The Good News in Turkey
Submitted by Gary Sack (United States), Jun 4, 2013 at 14:57
Turkey is the opposite to the "Arab Spring", where the islamists all came to power.
Islamism is in power in Turkey. My bet is the secularists can't knock them out, not without a military coup. And I believe Erdogan has probably neutered them by now, at least.
