	Turkey after Atatürk
		Turkey broke diplomatic relations with Adolf Hitler's government in August 1944, and, in February 1945, declared war on Germany, a necessary precondition for participation in the Conference on International Organization, held in San Francisco in April 1945, from which the United Nations (UN) emerged.
		The New Turkey Party was led by onetime DP dissidents who had broken with Menderes in the mid-1950s; the MHP attracted militant rightists.
		Turkey was admitted to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO--see Glossary) in 1952, and in 1955 joined with Britain, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan in the Baghdad Pact, a multilateral defense agreement that became the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) after the overthrow of the Iraqi monarchy in 1958.

		But the party failed to pass the 10% national threshold needed for a political party to have a seat in Parliament in the 1987 elections, prompting the Ecevits to step down from their positions in the party.
		Boosted by the capture of the leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party militant organization, Abdullah Öcalan, during his premiership, DSP won 22,19% of the votes in the elections of April in 1999 and took 136 of the 550 seats in the Turkish Parliament becoming a major party.
		At the 6th extraordinary party convention on July 25, 2004, Zeki Sezer was elected as the new leader of the party.

	Turkey — Another Disaster in the Making? - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		Turkey faces a critical and bitterly contested election at the beginning of November, and its economy is once again hovering on the point of insolvency.
		Turkey's politics are extremely complex and turbulent [1], but since 1999 the country has enjoyed some stability under a coalition government consisting of the centre-left Democratic Left Party (DSP) led by the Prime Minister, the veteran politician Bulent Ecevit, and two rightwing parties, the far-right Nationalist Action Party (MHP) and the centre-right Motherland Party (ANAP).
		There are now 48 political parties in Turkey, three of them launched in the middle of the current crisis, but a threshold of 10% of the vote limits their representation in parliament.

	MERIP Media Outreach: Turkey Says No to War, by Ian Urbina
		Turkey seems to be conducting a regime change of its own, and it's not clear who will take the reins or what the new government's stance will be toward Washington.
		Turkey fears the possibility of an autonomous Kurdish state being created in post-Saddam Iraq, which might embolden the 20 million Kurds of southern Turkey to push for more basic rights or eventually break away.
		Defections have taken Ecevit's party from being the largest component of the government to the smallest, forcing him to acquiesce to early elections in November.

	TURKEY’S ELECTION AND NEW GOVERNMENT
		Although it is a secular party-and somewhat incongruously, given its glorification of myths about the pre-Islamic origins of the Turks--the NAP has long emphasized that Islam is a natural part of Turkish national identity.
		The four mainstream parties-the DLP and RPP on the center-left and Yilmaz's Motherland and Ciller's TPP on the center-right-appear to have polled a total of only 56 percent, suggesting that there may no longer be a "mainstream" in Turkish politics.
		Holding 63% of the seats in parliament, the coalition is Turkey's strongest since Turgut Ozal's second term as prime minister in 1987, when ANAP alone governed with 64% of the seats (in a smaller parliament).

		Last week pollsters forecast that the Justice and Development party could win at least 20 percent of the vote compared to just 10 percent for each of the coalition parties -- not even enough to secure their presence in parliament.
		Despite Turkey being predominantly Muslim -- 99 percent of the population are Muslim -- Erdogan has deliberately played down the religious credentials of his party and says he is now a moderate.
		Turkey would be an important frontline ally in any operation against neighbouring Iraq.

	NewsHour Extra: Turkey in the Middle -- March 3, 2003
		Turkey has been a bridge or barrier between the East and the West for thousands of years.
		Turkey wants to send tens of thousands of its own troops into northern Iraq to prevent a refugee crisis and keep tabs on Kurdish rebels who may want to create an independent state, something the Turks oppose.
		Turkey fears that the creation of a Kurdish independent state, or even providing arms to Kurds in northern Iraq, will create problems, such as separatist attacks, within its own borders.

	Jubilee Research: Analysis: TURKEY — ANOTHER DISASTER IN THE MAKING?
		In the case of Turkey, however, the IMF's new policy – that of abruptly removing support from economies where its programmes have failed to deliver – has not been in evidence.
		This is clearly an unsustainable situation, and it is now critically important for Turkey to have her debt burden reassessed in order that she may make a fresh start, and break out of the volatile boom-bust cycle that IMF-led policies have imposed on her economy.
		This outline of the background to Turkey's economic position relies heavily on information and statistics provided by Yilmaz Akuz and Korkut Boratav (the director of the Division on Globalisation and Development Strategies, UNCTAD, and the Professor of Economics, University of Ankara, respectively) in their paper The Making of the Turkish Financial Crisis.

		Turkey's new Justice and Development Party (AKP) has answered that question with a resounding "yes".
		Despite its rather awkward name, the AKP is the descendant of the Virtue Party, which was the descendant of the Welfare Party.
		When your party is banned by your country's courts, and you as its leaders do not want to reconcile yourselves to passing the long, hot days of the Turkish summer and the long, cold nights of the Turkish winter sipping strong Turkish coffee and recalling what might have been, you have few options.

	TURKEY'S NOVEMBER 2002 ELECTIONS: A NEW BEGINNING?
		Since only one other party reached the 10 percent minimum necessary to hold seats in parliament, the victorious group was left with close to a two-thirds' majority.
		The corruption associated with the previous liberalization period under the centrist ANAP and DYP was one of the main reasons for declining trust in the centrist parties among the electorate.
		In the early 1980s high volatility was primarily due to a changing menu of parties facing the electorate due to the closing and merging of different parties.

	CHP party of old regime/
		After a period of one-party rule, an experiment with multi-party politics led to the 1950 election victory of the opposition Democratic Party and the peaceful transfer of power.
		Since then, Turkish political parties have multiplied, but democracy has been fractured by periods of instability and intermittent military coups (1960, 1971, 1980), which in each case eventually resulted in a return of political power to civilians.
		One of the successors of this party is the moderate islamic reformist Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi (Justice and Development Party, AKP) of Reçep Tayyıp Erdogan.

		If these guesses are correct and the AK Party acts forcefully after the elections, it is easy to see that Turkey will again be affected by a serious and destabilizing crisis.
