The nine year rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the ongoing Ergenekon and Balyoz (Sledgehammer) trials have divided the country into two camps -- one arguing Turkey is undergoing a democratic transformation and the other maintaining the country is sliding towards dictatorship.
Devetogodišnja vladavina Stranke pravde i razvitka (AKP) i tekuća suđenja za slučajeve Ergenekon i Balyoz (Malj) podijelila su zemlju na dva tabora – one koji tvrde kako Turska prolazi kroz demokratsku transformaicju i one koji ostaje pri tome da zemlja klizi ka diktaturi.
