It depends on what do you mean by islamist

Turkey never will not and cannot be islamist as Iran or as Arabs. It is certainly impossible.
Turks' culture, history, islam understanding of islam is different of other muslim countries.
In terms of civilisation, Turkey is much more ahead of them.

If islamist means dictatorship, & suppression, Turkey will never be.
