	History of Turkey
		In the post-Ataturk era, and especially after the military coup of 1960, this ideology came to be known as "Kemalism" and his reforms began to be referred to as "revolutions." Kemalism comprises a Turkish form of secularism, strong nationalism, statism, and to a degree a western orientation.
		The current ruling AK Party comes from a tradition that challenges many of the Kemalist precepts and is driven in its reform efforts by a desire to achieve EU accession.
		Turkey did not enter World War II on the Allied side until shortly before the war ended and became a charter member of the United Nations.

		It seemed that however much DEHAP tried to identify itself as a party of Turkey, addressing to all people of the country, the idea was not found convincing and was not supported by the non-Kurdish population in Turkey.
		In a truly "democratic Turkey" where "education and broadcast in Kurdish are freed" the real necessity would be for DEHAP to call itself a Kurdish party and to re-organize itself by creating new policies appealing to all Kurds.
