"Unfortunately, these democratic reforms were short-lived. Within a few years, reforms stalled, and after his third election victory in 2011, then-Prime Minister and now-President Erdoğan made a complete U-turn.

Some may see Turkey's recent negative example as evidence of the incompatibility between democratic and Islamic values. However, this would be a misdiagnosis/conclusion."
