Turkish Top Prosecutor asks court for closure of the ruling party AKP

Breaking news has been spread around the world by the top news agencies on Friday around 16.30 by starting a new discussion on the future of Turkey and its parliamentarian and law system.

According to Turkish mainstream newspaper, Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya, the chief prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Appeals, said Saturday "political Islam in Turkey has a claim to change state and society rules, by not being restricted in the area between the person and the God."

On Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister R. Tayyip Erdogan hit back to the accusation of his having a hidden Islamic agenda to change the country secular system towards to mild Islamic rule. Erdogan stated that this action of banning AKP, the ruling party of the country, is aimed not the party itself but “the will of nation” by reminding that their victory on July by getting 47 % of the whole votes in the election.

Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya by filling a lawsuit to the Constitution Court of Turkey by demanding the closure of the AKP, ruling party in the country at the moment and he accused the party for undermining the secularism by also asking President Abdullah Gul, Erdogan, former parliament speaker Bullet Arinc and other senior AKP members to be banned from politics for at least 5 years.

This breaking news will for sure throw many more question marks in the minds about the country’s democratic parliamentarian system. There is no doubt that for so long AKP has not showed attention to the masses of people marching on the streets by demonstrating against Islamic attitude of the Prime Minister Erdogan in 2007.

The Prime Minister has also has chosen the way of ignoring the 53% of the voters who did not voted for him for so long. The last actions of his, such as ordering all families to have at least three children in order to keep Turkish population high received many criticisms from public and opinion leaders of Turkey. There is no doubt that some people are still concerned even after 5 years of AKP as ruling party to be Islamist and it seems that Erdogan is still not very successful with convincing masses of people about his not having a hidden Islamist agenda to change the secular state into an Islamic republic.

At the same time, possibility of closure of the party does not seem the answer to all the conflicts since it will be an intervention into democratic parliamentarian system and elections.
