Can Turkey Digest Reforms?

It is unfortunate that the ECHR in its recent decision sustaining the headscarf ban in Turkish universities has fully adopted the assumption that in Turkey secularism can only be secured by state control of religion and restriction of religious freedoms.

Does Turkey have a B - Plan ?

Will Turkey with its great potentials have no problem at all in finding a new channel to flow through as claimed by Prime Minister Erdogan. There, unfortunately, exists no other regional integration alternative that is attractive for Turkey.
