Turkey’s False Nostalgia by Edhem Eldem "A.K.P. leaders need to understand that true secular democracy is the only viable way to guarantee the rights and freedoms of all citizens, including Muslims. And Mr. Erdogan’s opponents must grasp that true secularism, contrary to its earlier Kemalist incarnation, requires that the principles of democracy be applied to all members of society. Unfortunately, the new egalitarian discourses rising from Gezi Park risk being drowned out in the clamor of an outdated political struggle." nytimes/2013/06/17/opinion/turkeys-false-nostalgia.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0
