Just for the sake of argument we can say that the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) represents the former, and the ruling Justice and Development party represents the latter. Judging by the bellicose verbal war currently being waged between these two camps, it appears as if the CHP is less worried about democracy and more worried about secularism. The AKP, on the other hand, appears to be less worried about secularism and more worried about democracy."

The release comes on the heels of a March 29 German report outlining considerable details about PKK activities in Germany. Although these reports help illustrate the extent of the group's European infrastructure, many European governments have still not taken serious steps to counter the threat, despite the PKK's presence on the EU's terrorism list."

More: Famagusta Gazette Online Edition  "Turkey: curiouser and curiouser EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn are visiting Ankara this weekend. It may be a surreal trip. It is probably no coincidence that their Turkish host, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has just introduced into parliament a reform measure long demanded by the EU and held up by secular-nationalist opposition. The reform is to section 301 of the Penal Code which criminalises 'insulting Turkishness' and has been invoked by zealous nationalist prosecutors to pursue a number of prominent authors, including Orhan Pamuk, as well as those seeking to question the official Turkish line on the Armenian genocide question. The change would require approval from President Abdullah Gul for any future prosecutions. It is likely to pass parliament next week."

Our first impression of his speech is like this: Barroso verbalized his thoughts while seemingly not alluding to the 'hearing process' in the AKP closure case that he had previously expressed to the public opinion. For instance, he repeated his opinion about the European Union's stance that 'does not judge non-violent opinions.'"
