I'm very much interested about the recent political events in Turkey.
I want to know about the Alevi point of view.
How are your relations with the majority party (justice and development)
If an early election is held,do you expect the AK party to increase it's parliament representatives?
What is the constitution amendment mechanism in Turkey?
Do you think that the AK party will be able bring the secular era of Turkey to a dramatic end?
Any further information will be highly appreciated!

Turkey is on very diffucult condition now.There is no relation between akp and Alevies.With the new election i think at least 3 parties will go in parliament.Akp won't be able to bring the secular era.Because army coup will be in Turkey if akp goes like this.Turkish folks are used to these army coups.It won't be good for democracy but there is no chance.It will be done despite of the European Union.

Now I have a little bit more good hopes because of the cancelation of referandum...It is so hard for Ak Party to find 367 members to accept presidency of Abdullah Gül...Now we are so close to an early election and maybe there will be a coalition but i am absolutely sure that Ak Party won't be able to come power just by itself.

Presiding officer:

"The election might be on 22 July 2007 "

I can't help thinking.
If ,in Turkey with all it's huge deep rooted secular legacy A minority still suffers from discrimination by fundamentalist parties.What can we expect from such parties in countries such as Arab countries.

dear syrian, regarding your points, may be that is right that the turkey is not being governt by only 5 major generals although they are effective in guiding the public, however we are lucky than you. at least we have election right which almost arab countries deprived of it. any military interference will not occur here.
as i understand you are dependent on sunnah sect. i wonder about how alevi minority govern your country. i think just 10-15% of your society is alevi. all people in syria like your dictator?

You probably misunderstood me.

Here in Syria ,I have long argued that a secular dictatorship is far better for Syria than a democracy that is expected to bring fundamentalists to power.
At least it is far better for all the religious minorities in Syria that count up to 25% of the population .(Alawites,Druze,Ismailis,Yezidis,Murshidis,and of course ,Christians).
The AK party is far more tolerant than any fundamentalist party that is likely to exist here if given any chance.The type of party I expect here is that of Alqaida.
Although ,the Syrian presedent is Alawite,the Alawite are any thing but ruling the country.Their ambitions are far less than this.All what they ask for is a full equall citizenship.This is partly provided under the existing regime.
Many people here including Alawites are increasingly advocating democracy ,but on the other hand many minority people are very skeptic about this idea.They seriously fear that any democratic elections will bring to power people of Bin Laden's likes,so they insist that any democratic elections must exclude the fundamentalist parties from participation.I tend to the later position.I've found in the status of Alevis in Turkey a good point to dispute for my position.

You meant elections ended up in a victory for an extremist, fundamentalist, or terrorist entity into power? This is funny. Actually you have no election and democracy culture. Why werent there any election in your country before al-kaida was set up?
You still have a long way to go. Actually the democratic development has suffered from the serious setback recently especially after the war on Iraq. It's not only what you want to do. It's not only a matter of laws. You need the development of the society and you need the political atmosphere and you need the security.

DEar All,

At first, I would like to say hello from Germany.

I think that turkey is at the moment in a really bad condition. I think AKP will be a bad end for Turkey. I hate AKP and I would like that someone like Atatürk governace Turkey.

this year I will got again to Turkey to maka holiday. But I think the next years it will be very difficult for me to go to turkey to make holiday.

I think AKP is for us Alevitism very bad too.

I hope this problem will be solved soon. Furthermore I can not understand why some Turkish people are so silly and choose AKP.

Can you understand it??

Best regards,
