Watch episode 2 of our Turkish politics miniseries below:
Secularism is the separation of mosque and state, right? It’s the principle that religion should play no part in the way you run a country, its schools, its courts, its government.
A secular Turkey is usually described as the main achievement of this man.
But not everyone agreed with him. He had many opponents, many who tried to change – even topple – the system he built.
This is the story of one of those opponents and an ideology that tried to transform Turkey again.
This episode of Turkey’s Politics Explained was written, produced and presented by Michael Sercan Daventry.
