Istanbul, Turkey

The election of the AKP party, and prime minister Erdogan has dramatically changed Turkey. It has been seen as a much less corrupt and power-hungry party than its predecessors, and it Erdogan has proved an able administrator for the most part. Despite fears of an Islamist government taking power, the AKP has remained secular (in the Turkish fashion). Fear of the army keeps it in check, and, perhaps, it never meant to go further than seeking the basic rights taken for granted in European countries.

The AK Party (Justice and Development Party) of Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the single most popular party in Turkey, polling over 30%. Supports wore yellow AK hats and Erdogan masks. Despite being labeled "Islamist," a rally near Istanbul drew a wide range of people, both young and old, religious conservatives and the secular. Religion was clearly more prominent than at other party rallies, however, with men praying at a local mosque and a noticable number of heavily robed women. As at most public events, well-armed police watched over the crowd.
